He competed in Melbourne’s first dragon boat race in 1983 as part of the Studley Park Boathouse crew. Other highlights have included multiple trips overseas to compete and taking part in the World Championships in Sydney in 2007.
Mr Golino was presented with a photo album archiving his paddling history and a life membership certificate at a ceremony in Docklands on October 3.
