Safety On The Water

Team Missabittatitti is a unique dragon boat club of breast cancer survivors. Our members range in age from their early 40s to mid 80s.

As well as social paddling our coaches provide instruction for those who want to improve as sports paddlers.

Because of our diversity, extra care must be taken to ensure all MBT members have a safe and enjoyable experience on and off the water.

The safety and welfare of all MBT members will always be our Coaches and Sweeps first priority.

Our Coaches and Sweeps must ensure our members are safe and fit to enjoy their time on the water. However, every single DAB member is responsible for their own personal health and safety.

You can help contribute to our safety on the water.

  • Advise the Coach and/or Sweep if you feel unwell or any physical discomfort
  • Follow all safety instructions given by the Coach and/or Sweep
  • Wear a Lifejacket (Personal Floatation Device) when instructed to do so by your Coach and/or Sweep
