Experience the power of dragon boat racing, the ultimate team sport!
Bring your friends, for some fun and fitness and fast pace racing.
The session will start off with on shore activities to get the everyone warmed up and switched on. This usually involves a game of soccer, dodge ball or any one of a range of team building activities.
Safety demonstrations and paddling technique lessons will then be given before we load up the boats and head out onto the water! All aspects of paddling and safety on the water will be covered. But most importantly, we will teach you how to race dragon boats, feeling the power of twenty people paddling in perfect unison, hopefully!
We will try to get in a few races at the end of the session to pit the crews newly learnt skills against each other!
All equipment including paddles and life jackets will be provided by BRD, however it is recommended to bring the following items:
- a hat
- sunscreen (will also be provided by BRD)
- towel
- a bottle of water
