Why
Dragon Boating

Have you heard about dragon boating but don’t really know what it is? Is it like Quiddich? Are there actual dragons involved? Solid questions.

Dragon Boating is fun, fast, addictive and great for overall fitness. It started in China thousands of years ago and is now one of the fastest growing water sports in the world, including Australia.

Dragon boating is the ultimate team sport with 22 people racing in a boat, and welcomes all genders, ages and backgrounds. What it lacks in actual dragons, it makes it up with a strong sense of community, teamwork and camaraderie.
