It’s not all about time on the water! 🐉💪
Monday’s = keeping our Forza bodies mobile, strong and ready to paddle.
A little stretching 🧘♀️ a little suffering, a lot of laughs… and occasionally wondering how we got into these positions. 😂
Mobility, strength, recovery and a bit of team chaos, all part of being a paddler.

Sunday sessions done right! ☀️🚣♀️
Four out of five of our Aurora hopefuls were out on the Bunbury Inlet this morning putting in the work ahead of next weekend’s first Perth Aurora Selection Camp. Good luck to Milly, Fiona, Mark, Karen and Duncan! 💪
Our Aurora paddlers represent everything from Premier Division through to Senior C, and we’re incredibly proud of the diversity and inclusivity within the Forza family. ❤️💛
A few special mentions…
🧹 Matt – thanks for sweeping this morning. We gave you four paddlers and one boat… somehow you got us all home in one piece! 😄 Thanks for your time and support.
🚣 Mark – thanks for making it all happen. Like all good organisers, if everything runs smoothly, most people never see how much work goes on behind the scenes.
⏱️ Shani – thanks for the GPS and timing duties. The stopwatch doesn’t lie… even if some of the paddlers tried negotiating with it! 😂
Fitness ✔️
Fresh air ✔️
Great people ✔️
One of Australia’s most beautiful waterways ✔️
And of course Dolphins 🐬
If you’ve been thinking about giving dragon boating a go for the 2026/27 season, stay tuned… the new season is just around the corner! Whether you’re chasing competition, fitness, or simply a fun way to meet new people, there’s a seat in the boat waiting for you. 💛🚣♀️

Yesterday Forza spent our Sunday session collecting rubbish from the Leschenault Inlet. Over 1.5 hours we collected several garbage bags of general litter, two folding chairs, two set of waders, one star picket, and a luggage bag filled with personal clothing.
Thank you to everyone that helped out.
Thank you to the Dolphin Discovery Centre for the loan of the collection equipment.
And wrapped up with a great BBQ breakfast for all that helped!
