The ACS (I) Canoeing Team was formed in January 1999, with the aim of using sports as a platform to build students’ character through experiential learning. By February 1999, there were ten regular members, training with boats and paddles borrowed from the Anglo-Chinese Junior College Canoe Team and the SAFRA Canoe and Dragon Boat Team. The Dragon Boat arm of the Canoe Team was started in June 2000, as a team building activity.

The ACS (I) Canoe Team now keeps a fleet of International – Class racing boats, and competes actively in the National Inter-Schools’ Canoeing Championships, and the National Inter-Schools’ Dragon Boat Championships. The Team also participates in the National Junior Kayaking Championships, the National Canoeing Championships, the National Kayak Marathon and the Annual Round Ubin Race.
