Wanna give dragon boating a try? Come join us at our water training sessions! No prior experience necessary.


Sessions are quality workouts with some of the friendliest people from all walks of life, representing a variety of ages, backgrounds, and nationalities. The concept of paddling as a team has been very inspiring and motivational – we train hard and race together throughout the season, aspiring to becoming a team at the international level.


• What is Dragon Boat Racing?
Dragon boat racing is a traditional Chinese water sport that has rapidly grown in international popularity from the 1970’s onward. A dragon boat is a canoe-shaped boat that seats twenty-two athletes, including a steerer and a drummer.
