There is a worldwide network of breast cancer survivor (BCS) dragon boat teams across the globe, as the sport is proven to be beneficial to the the wellbeing of those afflicted. We don't have a team at Exeter, but we have regular BCS paddlers in the Exe-Calibre crews.

This year and for the first time, there are BCS races at the World Championships in Germany in July. And here are some pics of the GB BCS crew training in readiness. If you would like to try a free session, please get in touch and you will be made most welcome. 👍💪🐍🩷https://execalibre.co.uk/
