Why Dragon Boat?
Dragon boat racing is believed to have originated in China more than 2,000 years ago.
Originally, the dragon boat was used as a way to appease the rain gods for religious purposes, now it has become one of the fastest-growing water sports in the world.
Dragon boat racing is popular for its fitness benefits and exciting racing, it is much loved for the camaraderie, teamwork and community. Dragon Boat racing is the ultimate team sport with 22 people of various ages and backgrounds coming together in synergy to make the boat fly!
