What is dragon boating
Dragon boating is one of the oldest sports in the world today originating over 2,000 years ago in the Southern Provinces of China. The modern sport of Dragon Boating consists of a long canoe with 20 paddlers who sit 10 long and two abreast, a drummer who sits at the front and beats the drum to keep the paddlers in time and a sweep who stands at the back of the boat and steers.
Timing is important for the boat to move smoothly through the water and the 2 front paddlers called "the strokes" set the timing.
Dragon Boating is a social sport and comes with the added advantage of getting fit whilst having fun.
