DRAGON BOATING
Research supports the positive impact of team sports on mental health and overall well-being. Just add water for a supercharged experience!
Dragon boating is a thrilling water sport where a team of paddlers work together to propel a long, narrow boat through the water. Originating from ancient Chinese traditions, it combines strength, coordination, and teamwork to glide smoothly across the water. This sport offers numerous health benefits, serving as a full-body workout that enhances cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and endurance.
Beyond the physical advantages, dragon boating fosters a sense of camaraderie and belonging within the team, promoting mental well-being and reducing stress. Its low-impact nature also makes it an ideal choice for people of various fitness levels, including veterans and those with mobility challenges.

We partner with @sportsadf to deliver Team Australia to the Invictus Games.
In an Invictus Games first, veterans will compete in winter sports at the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025. Hear from Invictus Games alumni and Para Athlete Matt Brumby as he introduces us to Nordic Skiing and Biathlon.
Nordic Skiing challenges competitors to race across rugged terrain using classic skiing techniques, showcasing their stamina and mental toughness in this test of endurance. Split between novices and advance skiers, competitors will race between 750m to 1500m.
The Biathlon adds a twist, combining the physical demands of cross-country skiing with the precision of target shooting, where competitors will use electronic shooting systems to test their focus to hit every mark.
