SIM Dragons are the enthusiastic, spirited and sportive dragonboaters from the Singapore Institute of Management. We have a common passion - to row like our lives depended on it. Based on our principle of "Train hard! Study hard! Play hard!", the SIM Dragon Boat Team attempts to promote the holistic development of any individual throughout his/her tertiary education, by promoting key traits like strong mental strength and close social bonds. Unity is the key to our success! It is through such team spiritedness that has brought us closer and helped forged the many invaluable friendships.

Our vision "Excel As A Team, Forge Ahead As One" attests to our pursuit to be a highly competitive team. We challenge ourselves to step out of our comfort zones, be physically and mentally competent, and contest for the opportunity to represent the team in races.

All training and no play maketh a dull team, and having fun is about what we do best! The team enjoys bonding activities like clubbing, celebrating of festive seasons, movie marathons, chilling out, sun-tanning sessions at Sentosa, and more!
