Australian Dragon Boat Championships, better known as AusChamps, is the highest level and biggest Dragon Boating event in Australia!

Thousands of Dragon Boaters from all over Australia come together once a year to compete for the State vs State and Club vs Club national titles...

...and Team CYSM are showing up in force. We will be competing in the club crew competitions and aiming to field representatives in the Victorian state teams. 

Reminisce how much fun we had at AusChamps the past years!
