The Ottawa Dragon Masters Open Team is a competitive dragon boat team that exemplifies the strength and determination of active adults aged 50–70+.
Time to take our boats out of winter storage and back where they belong in Mooney’s Bay.

Where the ODM Open boys are.
Everything else is just water.
Age is just a number. Speed is a choice. 🚣♂️💥
We’ve put in the years, the miles, and the work—and now the rest of the field is chasing us.
It’s not an obsession, it’s a lifestyle.
Not saying it solves everything…
Fresh air. Good people.
And 20 paddlers moving like one.

Happy Easter from your favourite Senior Open Team
Tough on the water.
Good guy off it
Just a coach who knows what it takes—and expects it.
It’s been a rough 30 years.
Winter training continues.
Turn it up. Lock it in. Get down to work.
This is what the off-season looks like when your crew refuses to slow down.
Power. Precision. Twenty paddles moving as one.
See you on the water.
