Since 2000, the Aquaholics have been ripping through Ontario’s waters with frenzied fury, and unabashed spirit. With their unequivocal good looks and contagious cheers, this Toronto team embodies all the virtues of Dragon Boating – skill, teamwork, and cool jerseys. Feel free to browse through our website, and take a closer look at the team that many have called “the hippest crew on the waves” (or “the biggest bunch of @$$holes”, depending on who you talk to)…
History in the making
The Aquaholics haven’t always been the colour coordinated crew you see on the water today. Long before anyone had heard of the term ‘Aquababe’, the team was quietly making it’s meager beginnings at Toronto’s beaches, occasionally stranding their boat on sewer lines, or beaching it on the pebble shores. It wasn’t until the artful skill of boat-steering was finally mastered, that the Aquaholics began to see their true potential. The days of “HIT! Let it run… HIT! Let it run…” were behind them.
Today, the team boasts a 30 person strong crew, with a number of hopefuls awaiting a spot on next year’s team just to try on the cool jerseys.
So, this summer, when you’re down by the lakeshore, keep an eye and ear out for us. If you hear us cheering, feel free to join in! Or, if you see us stranded yet again on shore, please help us back in the water, and forget you ever saw us.
Now, LET ME HEAR THE AQUAHOLICS!!
