A great way to get active and fit after breast cancer!
A sport that orginated in China, dragon boating is a good upper-body exercise that can be taken up at any age. All our members were new to the sport.
Come and Try - Currently Paused
New member try-outs are currently paused. As soon as our waiting list for try-outs is reopened we will post it on the website. We hope this will be later in 2026.
Who we are
The Plurabelle Paddlers is a breast cancer dragon boat club and registered charity, based in Grand Canal Dock in Dublin and was founded in 2010 by Fiona Tiernan.
After treatment for a recurrence of breast cancer, Fiona decided to manage her health by getting fit. She was inspired by the breast cancer dragon boat movement first pioneered in Canada 15 years earlier.
