Strong programs are led by strong coaches. Sistership Calgary has two of the best.
Coach Chelsey Tidmarsh has been with the team since 2015. Her focus on continuous development and growth motivates every Sistership paddler to strive for more, reach that one inch farther, and to achieve goals that, at one time, seemed impossible.
Chelsey’s experience, talent and commitment to the sport of dragon boating have earned her the privilege to represent Canada on the world stage on numerous occasions. Her ability to inspire paddlers and pull from them maximum effort has also resulted in her being named as head coach of the National Breast Cancer Paddlers program with Dragon Boat Canada.
With her talent for coaching and technical know-how, Alexis is a powerhouse who masterfully guides Sistership paddlers to develop proper technique and mindset.
Alexis has been paddling since 2019 and has competed in several events in Canada and around the world. Her interest and work in rehabilitation medicine make her a natural fit for breast cancer paddling. Her resounding positivity and limitless energy buoy our team both on and off the water, making us feel successful in every facet of the sport and to want to do more.
