The ACCA Dragon Boat Racing Team is based in Sydney, Australia. The team has been racing competitively since the 1984 inaugural Sydney Dragon Boat Festival at Farm Cove and is one of the founding members of the Sydney Dragon Boat Community.

Though no longer affiliated, the club was founded by the Australian Chinese Community Association, a non-profit community organisation that seeks to promote a mutual understanding between the Chinese and Australian communities. Based in Sydney, this club has evolved into a multicultural group of paddlers, from 18-65 years of age.

ACCA is a club that believes in going above and beyond your full potential, while also having fun. A high achieving club, ACCA has coaches who have been involved in NSW State Representative Teams as well as Australian World Championship Teams, along with many paddlers who have participated at national and international level. In 2011, ACCA was proud to have 10 paddlers selected to represent NSW at the Australian National Dragon Boat Championships held in Canberra. We also had three paddlers who represented Australia at the 2011 World Championships in Tampa, Florida.

ACCA trains at 1 Bank St, Pyrmont, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, in addition to Saturday mornings. We welcome paddlers from all different backgrounds, ages and fitness levels. If you’d like to give dragon boating a try, contact us at info@accadbr.com.
