Orlando Dragon Boat Club

Dragon Boating is the fastest growing water sport in the world, and is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, get a tremendous workout and make new friends. This group is for anyone between the ages of 14-114 and all fitness levels are encouraged to join. This can be a regular part of your workout routine or you can become a serious Dragon Boater and join our racing team, ScORCh.

A recent news story on our Swat/Teen "Dueling Dragons" team that practices at our club.

Get your company involved! We can accomodate your company team with boat, steersperson, coach and time on the water to prepare for the Walgreens International Dragon Boat Festival at Disney every year in October or the Central Florida Dragon Boat Festival every year in April.

Orlando Health Executives and doctors make Dragon Boating part of their team building activities.

  Ok, just to be clear to all who are joining this team. Eva and I are only managing this team; we will not be paddling with you guys. We will be on ScORCh Black but we will do our best to make sure your team is prepared and ready for race day. For some of you this is your first race and have no idea what to expect, but rest assured it will be fun and exciting. If you thought you are addicted to this wonderful sport now, just wait till after you race! You're gonna love it!!

You've heard about this one. This is the Dragon Boat Festival that is like none other. Battle In The Bay is an authentic tropical setting for dragon boat racing by launching directly from the beach.
