Calling all Storm Sisters

Southern Storm Paddle Club is putting a call out to all women who are interested in getting out on the water and dipping their paddle into the world of dragon boat racing.

You are invited to join our fun vibrant team and experience this exciting water sport.

Storm Sisters is an initiative supported by VicHealth funding to increase women’s participation in sport. So if you are looking for a way to get fit and active, for something fun and different and to be part of a supportive community, then come and make a splash with the Storm Sisters!
