Waikato Treasure Chests Dragon Boat Club Waikato Treasure Chests / Waikato Snap Dragons ... Breast Cancer survivors and supporters Look out for our bright pink flag, we would love to see you.

Waikato Treasure Chests Dragon Boat Team (WTC) are a women’s dragon boat team who are committed to providing a quality sports and recreation experience for all women of abilities and capabilities. We create opportunities for all women who have goals of wellness and belonging through offering a warm and welcoming space for women to connect. Our team competes under two categories:

· Breast cancer survivors
· Open women

Breast cancer awareness is driven by our paddlers with the disease who have chosen to regain control of their lives. It reaches out to other women with a message of hope as they build a life after breast cancer.

“To know about dragon boating and all its benefits is great but to come and experience it is immense!” Our ethos/culture is about inclusivity and wellbeing. Quotes from some of our paddlers:

Tracy: “Dragon Boating for Waikato Treasure Chests has been a really empowering experience for me. I have gained back my confidence, strength, passion, and fitness doing something I love. “
Teresa: “I think I have found another network of strength with Waikato Treasure Chests. I am excited to see where this adventure takes me!”

We meet and train on Lake Rotoroa and welcome new members throughout the year. Touch base today through our page or via our email [email protected]

⏰ Daylight Saving starts this Sunday! ⏰

Your watch will adjust automatically… but will you? 😉

We’re starting bright and early this Sunday, so make sure your clocks are sorted and your paddling gear is ready!

Lose an hour of sleep, gain an hour of daylight… worth it for paddling with us!

See you on the water!

Spring is here! This means adding Tuesday & Thursday paddles to our regular Sunday WTC sessions — more time on the water, more connection and more fun!

Taken winter off, or been away for a season (or two)? It’s time to get back in the boat!

Message us. Pick a paddle. Show up. Jump back in. We’ll see you on the water!

Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2026

This year’s theme celebrates te reo Māori in our communities and everyday lives.

WTC know the power of moving together as one so we chose this whakataukī to share…

“Kaua e rangiruatia te hāpai o te hoe, e kore te waka e ū ki uta.”
Do not lift the paddle out of time, or the canoe will not reach the shore.

Let’s bring a little more te reo onto the water:
• Hoe ki runga! — Paddles up!
• Hoe kia rite! — Paddles ready!
• Hoea! — Paddle!
• Kia kaha! — Be strong!
Tahi, tahi, tahi! — Together, together, together!

Happy Father’s Day to all the WTC dads!

Today we’re celebrating the dads (and others who “dad”) who support, encourage, cheer us on and put up with our crazy dragon boat adventures! 😂

A special shout-out to our WTC dad and coach Shaneo, who’s taken the father-daughter combo to the next level — coaching and training his daughter Gracie to become a dragon boat sweep. 🐉

A pretty special duo, and one WTC is super proud of! 💗

Happy Father’s Day!
