After more than 13 years and 7 National Team cycles, Kamini Jain will be leaving the National Team program.

It is hard to express the contribution that Kamini has made in her time with the National Team, both with the Premier and the Senior C programs. Kamini's experience, passion and expertise has resulted in Kamini being one of the world's most in demand coaches. DBC and our National Team athletes have been lucky to have Kamini at the helm of programs and she will be sorely missed by her athletes.

Kamini's engagement with the National Team did not stop at coaching. During her tenure as a Program Director, Kamini also gave her time and knowledge to the High Performance Committee and has been part of the team that has shaped the evolution of the National Team program.

If you have raced with Kamini in the National Team program in the past, please join us in letting her know how much we appreciate all that she has contributed to the success of Team Canada and wishing her all the best in her next challenge.

A veteran of the sport, she’s been dragon boating since 2013, starting with Hamilton’s Lively Dragons and culminating in the Para Dragon category at the Canadian Club Crew Championships.
