Dragon Boat Racing

 

Dragon boat racing is often described as the ultimate team sport based on team spirits and coordination. A full crew consists of 20 paddlers working in unison to move the dragon boat (a traditional long boat) through the water, with a helm steering the boat standing on the rear, and a drummer up the front keeping the timing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's a fast (and sometimes splashy) sport that works out the entire body to ensure maximum power is extracted from each stroke. It gets the adrenalin flowing and is a fantastic way to de-stress at the end of the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dragon boat racing is one of the UK’s (and world's) fastest growing watersports; it’s not just a great way to get fit, but also to make new friends, enjoy the great outdoors (and hopefully the weather) and participate in races up and down the country or even abroad!

 

Dragon boat racing is fun and a sport for all, suitable for guys and gals of all ages, mixed backgrounds and varying levels of fitness and paddling ability. No previous experience is necessary. No expensive equipment required as well.  

 

Come and experience it yourself!
