Are you excited about participating a dragon boat practice event for the first time? Trying a new sport can be a wonderful and enriching experience. You are excited about spending Sunday morning on the water and meeting new people during the dragon boating.
Now, what should you bring to Dragon Boat Practice?
Dragon boat is a water sport and so you can expect to get wet with this. Wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows you to move freely.
Water shoes, sandals with a strap, or lightweight sneakers that can get wet are ideal.
Sunglasses with UV protection and a hat with a brim can also help shield you from the sun.
Wear water sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays.
Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated before, during, and after practice.
We will provide Personal Flotation Device (PFD) and paddles
Here are some information about what you can generally expect on your first dragon boat experience.
You will be greeted by our MDPC team members. We will provide you with an overview of the sport, a safety briefing that will include information about wearing life jackets (PFDs), how to use the paddle, and the basic dragon boat rules and techniques.
We will start the practice session with a proper warm-up to prevent injuries. Dynamic stretching and light cardio exercises can help prepare your muscles for the activity.
Our experience coach or team leaders will teach you the basic paddling technique, including the catch, pull, and exit phases of the paddle stoke.
Depending on the team's size, you will be assigned a seat in the dragon boat. You might be assigned to the front, middle, or back of the boat. Our coach or team leader will guide you to your place.
Dragon boating is a physically demanding sport. You will use your core, upper body, and leg muscles during paddling. Practice will take about 2 hours. So, be prepared for a good workout.
We are very passionate about what we do and we want you to get the happiness of being out on the water and working as a team. We believe you will experience a sense of achievement and satisfaction during and after your first dragon boat experience. So, have fun, and enjoy the journey of becoming a part of the dragon boating community. See you on the boat!
