Learn to Paddle Dragon Boat! 

Come learn the basics about dragon boat paddling, racing and technique. This session is geared for beginner paddlers to gain basic skills, with the intent of joining our teams this season for twice weekly practices and participating a 3-4 local race events. Come have fun, learn about dragon boating and meet other great locals who are interested in this fun sport!

Things to know for your session:

• Dress in comfortable "active wear" clothing, in a couple of layers based on weather
• Bring a water bottle
• A hat and/or sunglasses are often nice to have, depending on weather
• There will be some incident water splashes, you may get a little wet - it's a water sport after all!
• If you have your own PFD (personal floatation device) or dragon boat paddle, please do bring them with you. Otherwise, we have plenty club equipment to use. 
• Note - you will be sitting in very close proximity to other paddlers in the boat. Masks are optional, at personal discretion. Being vaccinated against Covid is a Dragon Boat Team Requirement for this season, as the organizers hosting the race events we will be participating in also require the same.
