ABOUT US: Dragons Abreast Launceston, Tasmania

We have been paddling since February 2008 and are based at the North Esk Rowing Club opposite the Seaport. We enjoy all the facilities at the club, including excellent gym equipment and a restaurant and bar. From this situation we can easily access the Cataract Gorge, the upper reaches of the Tamar River and the lower reaches of the North Esk River. We are also able to launch the 'Tamar Tittilator' from various ramps along the Tamar, especially at GeorgTown, Hillwood and Gravelly Beach, where we receive terrific support from the locals

The club is named 'DANTI' (Dragons Abreast Northern Tas Inc.) We hold meetings at the rowing club on the second Tuesday of each month, after paddling. Meetings are open to all members.

We paddle every Tuesday evening and on weekend mornings during summer. When daylight saving stops we only paddle at weekends at 9am. On Tuesday evenings we train using the gym equipment at the Rowing Club, alternating with water activities at the fantastic new Launceston Aquatic Centre where it is WARM! We make regular appearances at the Duck Race, the GeorgeTown and Hillwood festivals. The Christmas Parade, regattas and paddling with our sister clubs.

Our priorities are

• getting fit
• making new friends
• having fun

DANTI's Aquatic Centre activities

• We'll be using the Hydro-therapy pool and spa for water aerobics and soft gentle exercises.
• These are aimed to develop and maintain fitness and strength.
• Sessions are led by an experienced instructor who is also a member of DANTI.
• Any breast cancer survivors and their supporters are welcome to come.

New members are always welcome.
