Dear Internet
Friends,
Ever since I
started the dragon boat education series of blog posts, you’ve flooded my inbox
with questions. Fantastic! Because I love talking about this sport. I don’t
want to gatekeep all this information, so I’ve compiled the most useful
questions and answers for you in this post. I hope you find this information
useful. Let me know if you have any more dragon boat questions.
Q: Do I need
experience to join a dragon boat team?
A: No
experience needed. We’ll teach you everything. Most of our teammates started with zero experience.
Q: What kind
of fitness level do I need for dragon boat racing?
A: You don’t
need to be in shape to start. You get in shape by showing up and putting in the
work. Dragon boat racing will strengthen your whole body. It’s particularly
good at working out your core muscles.
Q: Can I try
dragon boat racing if I don’t know how to swim?
A: Yes. We
wear life vests and paddle close to shore because your safety is a priority. A
shocking number of talented paddlers can’t swim.
Q: Am I too
old to try dragon boat racing?
A: No. some
of the toughest dragon boat racers compete in the masters division, for people
aged 40 and older. Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill.
Q: Am I too small/big
to try dragon boat racing?
A: No. Dragon boat racing embraces ALL body types. The boats have a tapered shape, so teams
need all body types to fill the boat. That includes people with small bodies in
the front and back, and big bodies in the middle.
Q: Do you
paddle when it rains?
A: Yes, even
when it rains. It’s a brisk, life-affirming experience.
Q: Is dragon
boat racing expensive?
A: No. We
provide FREE dragon boat racing lessons. We’ll even provide you with loaner paddles
and life jackets.

Your job is driving you crazy! Deadlines…meetings…emails. They’re
stressing you out. You need a break NOW.
But what can you do to find relief?
You should escape your stuffy office and get some fresh air.
Being outdoors naturally boosts your mood and eases tension. The effect is even
stronger when you add a physical activity like dragon boat racing.
What? You’ve never heard of dragon boat racing? It’s a fun
and exciting water sport in which a team of paddlers propels a massive canoe
down a racecourse.
You should try it. Once you get in the boat, you’ll soak up
the sun, feel the cool breeze whipping through the air, and get in a great
workout. This experience will leave you feeling excited, re-energized, and
stress-free.
There’s no better way to relieve work stress than dragon
boat racing. Escape from the deadlines, the meetings, and the emails. Grab a
paddle, get in the boat, and let it all go…stroke by stroke. You’ll step off
the boat feeling ready to take on the world.
