Welcome to the Pendragon Dragon Panthers Dragon Boat Club Website.

The Pendragon Panthers are a serious sports club dedicated to the development of dragon boat racing in Sydney's Greater West. As a subclub of Panthers, World of Entertainment, new members are sought and welcomed. If you are looking for a new and challenging sport then Dragon boat racing may be what you are looking for. Combining physical fitness, strength, teamwork and centuries old tradition, dragon boat racing offers something for everyone. Categories are open to men and women of all ages and juniors between the ages of 12 to 18. If you believe that Dragon boating racing is for you then be prepared to test your physical limits at training, local, national and international events.
