Metropolitan Adelaide
Dragon Fire is ACDC’s metropolitan Adelaide region. We train on the international-standard racecourse at West Lakes, the home of South Australian dragon boating and the venue for DBSA regattas and the State Championships.
Most new ACDC members take their first stroke here. The Saturday 9.45am Come ’N Try & Development session is built for beginners and juniors from age 9, while our race crews train on Monday and Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings, on the same water they compete on.
Every session meets at the Aquatic Reserve on the corner of Bower and Old Port Roads. Arrive at the session time; we are on the water 15 minutes later.
