SWAG Goddess Team Makes Debut at Dragon Boat Race, Stealing the Spotlight
The SWAG Goddess Team makes its debut at the 2025 Taipei International Dragon Boat Championships in the Women’s Small Dragon Boat category, becoming a crowd favorite.
The SWAG Goddess Team, formed by creators from Asia’s largest adult entertainment platform SWAG, made its first-ever appearance at the 2025 Taipei International Dragon Boat Championships, competing in the Women’s Small Dragon Boat category. The 15-member team immediately became a major highlight of the event, drawing attention even before the race began.
Completing their debut race successfully, the team was met with enthusiastic cheers as they reached the shore, with spectators lining up to take photos and show their support — a clear sign of their soaring popularity.
Led by team captain Mio, with Amber serving as the drummer, the Goddess Team combined star power with determination. During the final sprint to the finish line, Mio collapsed at the front of the boat from exhaustion, prompting even the live sports commentator to ask in concern, “Is she okay?”

Wrapping up a late-night stream and assembling at dawn — the hosts take on an early-morning challenge
Laughing afterward, Mio shared, “Our first dragon boat race was incredibly tough, but we wanted to push our limits. Next year, we hope to take on the challenge of the larger dragon boats!”
For many SWAG creators, early morning training sessions were nearly unimaginable. Most members typically finish live streaming late at night, yet every participant arrived on time for practice.
“No one was late, and no one missed a session — perfect attendance!” the team joked. “Rowing at dawn was painful, but thinking about pushing through together made it worth it.”
Sun protection also became a major challenge for the creators. To protect their on-camera skin, everyone trained fully covered with hats, arm sleeves, masks, and sunglasses — turning practice sessions into what looked like a “mystery rowing party.” It wasn’t uncommon for teammates to only recognize each other after removing their gear, laughing, “Wait, who are you?” — “Oh! It’s you!”

Only after paddling did we realize who you really are
SWAG stated that the Goddess Team was formed not only to compete, but also to showcase the creators’ healthy and diverse lifestyles beyond live streaming. This year’s championship gathered 221 teams and over 5,000 athletes at Dajia Riverside Park, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
Though it was their first appearance, the SWAG Goddess Team gave it their all and quickly became one of the most eye-catching teams of the entire event.
Fans line the shore to cheer as the SWAG Goddess Team completes the race, showcasing their overwhelming popularity.
