Who we are

Sync or Swim is a non-profit 501c3 and has been a proud part of Portland, Oregon’s dragon boating scene for over 20 years, bringing together paddlers who share a passion for teamwork, perseverance, and fun. With a strong sense of camaraderie both on and off the water, we’ve built a legacy of paddling with purpose, cheering each other on, and celebrating every victory—big or small.

When summer arrives, the real magic begins. Our team travels to some of the most exciting races in the Pacific Northwest, from Portland’s iconic waterfront to the lively shores of Seattle and the vibrant waters of Vancouver, British Columbia. These summer events are more than just races; they’re opportunities to soak in beautiful destinations, enjoy thrilling competition, and create affordable, unforgettable adventures with teammates who feel like family.
