About the Event
DRAGON BOATING Teams of ten to twenty paddlers (depending on boat size) take to the water, paddling in synchronization. A steersperson at the rear maneuvers the boat. Teamwork is key, as races are often won or lost by less than one second. Dragon boating is a great workout for core, cardio and all-around fitness. Want to give it a try? We’d love for you to join us! Most of our members had no paddling experience when they joined. We can teach you all you need to know and help you get into great shape. You’ll enjoy a great workout on Florida’s scenic waterways while meeting new people.
What you will need: Please bring water or a sports drink, sunscreen and hat, and wear clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting splashed (this is a water sport, after all). Also, bring a willingness to learn and have fun!
If you do not see a large number of attendees, don't worry. Our members’ only practice is right before the new member boat and veterans join the practice to teach and encourage you on your first dragon boat experience!
