Team Chaos is a competitive dragon boat crew based at the Outer Harbour Club in Toronto. 2010 marks our crew's 11th season. We train together nine months of the year and compete in five or six events per season.
Chaos is open to enquiries from experienced paddlers seeking a competitive program with a positive approach. For more detail please view the recruitment page.
Our team's goals are simple:
Work harder. Race faster. Have more fun.
This is recreation, so if it isn’t fun we don’t see the point. We’re a team with a wide range of backgrounds and we definitely enjoy the social aspects of our sport.
However we’ve found we have the most fun when we’re training hard and competing well. Doing that requires a constant effort to get more out of the time and ability we have in the boat. We ask each individual to strive for the small personal gains in fitness, focus and technique that, multiplied by 20, add up to a faster boat.
Chaos benefits from stable leadership, experienced coaching and a dedicated core. We make sure our paddlers get the guidance and encouragement they need to be better paddlers. Better means faster. Faster means more fun. And we're all about that kind of fun.

Recruitment for 2010
Submitted by simpleton on April 15 2010Teams Chaos enjoyed last year's competition so much that we've shaped our '10 season around sport regatta racing.
The full race calendar will likely be as follows:
- Milton (May 29)
- Toronto Island (June 20/21)
- GWN Sport Regatta (July 17)
- Woodstock (Aug 7)
- GWN Challenge (September 11/12)
We will most likely make a road trip to the Philadelphia event in the first weekend of October. In season Chaos practices twice a week at the outer harbour with an occasional weekend practice or OC session thrown into the mix.
