Sport Program H2o Montreal
Push your limits. Aim for excellence. Paddle at the highest level.
Advanced Program — Sport Division
In dragon boat terminology, the advanced level corresponds to the SPORT division.
At H2o Dragon Boat, this division is intended for athletes seeking self-surpassing, team performance, and the unique experience of international competition.
Here, we train hard. Together.
We travel. We compete. We aim for the podium.
A proven culture of performance
For several years, H2o has been proving itself on the international stage, with numerous medals won at the IDBF Club Crew World Championships.
Our Sport teams are built on a culture of commitment, discipline, and solidarity — where every paddler contributes to the group’s performance.
Joining the H2o Sport division means embarking on an extraordinary adventure.
