2024
A new crew in an old steel city.
Steel City Beavers began in Sheffield in 2024 with a shared love of dragon boating, teamwork and time on the water. Since then the crew has raced at Nationals, set a record on Loch Ness, and seen its juniors selected for Team GB. The story is still being written with every stroke.
