DRAGON BOATING
Dragon Boat Racing is one of the world’s fastest growing participation sports. It is a whole-body workout that builds strength, stamina, and endurance. Whether you are looking to improve your strength and fitness, push your limits, meet new people, try something new and fun, any, or all the above, THIS is the sport for you!
​​The Dragon Boat is deeply embedded in China’s ‘Dragon’ culture, with each Boat having an ornately carved dragon’s head at the Bow and a tail in the Stern. The Hull is painted with the Dragon’s scales. The paddles symbolically represent the claws. There are generally 18-20 paddlers per Standard size Dragon Boat, plus a drummer and a helm (Steerer).
