What is Dragon Boating?

Dragon Boating is an explosive, highly competitive sport, racing a 40 foot Chinese boat with a crew of 20 against other teams to the beat of a drum. Teams compete from all over the UK and also internationally

Like running, horse racing and marksmanship, the racing of dragon boats is among mankind's oldest organized competitions...the team paddling sport of dragon boat racing originated in China over 2000 years ago.

It is an excellent aerobic exercise enjoyed in a real team atmosphere. A very good upper body work out whilst building core strength
