Our Purpose

We train with purpose. We push our limits. We become stronger, faster, and fitter — together. And we compete at the highest level while having fun doing it.

What We Believe

We believe in teamwork, empowerment, strength, health, and lifelong wellbeing. We prove that performance has no age limit.

About the Team

Built on the Ottawa River

Founded in 2018 under the Ottawa Dragon Boat Club (ODBC), the Senior B Women are a competitive crew of athletes aged 50 and over. What started as a small group of determined paddlers has grown into a nationally recognized team with multiple Team Canada veterans.

We train year-round — on the water from May through October and in the gym through the winter. Our paddlers bring decades of athletic experience, fierce competitiveness, and an unbreakable bond forged through thousands of strokes together.
