As featured on global news and blogto!
Meet new people, get outside, move and learn to paddle with a dragon boat team!
The origins of dragon boating are rooted in Chinese tradition for over 200 years. It has exploded across a wide variety of populations from recreational to elite athletes, able and special needs. It's growth can be attributed to it's need to have over 22 people on one team and the special bond that's created when training and racing with 10 women and 10 men together. It's the ultimate team sport.
The Water Vipers Dragon Boat team is known for the last 14 years as a team that gets the most out of what it puts in whether its time, money and fun.
We welcome people with experience and without and of all backgrounds. And if the timing or goals don't align we'll be able to refer you to other teams as I run a gym and paddling club dedicated to the sport.
Our team trains indoors from October to April on Saturdays at 730am at Afterburn Fitness in Scarborough; Afterburnfitness.ca
The sessions consist of one hour of paddling in a specialized pool (no swimming/ you won't get wet) and one hour of strength and conditioning training both instructed by certified coaches
From May to September we paddle at Sunnyside Paddling Club twice a week on Wednesdays at 7:15pm and Saturdays at 9:00am.
Accommodations can be made if the times don't workout great. Once a week is also possible.
First session is free and subsequent one will be pro-rated for when you start and what you can do. Our typical water season costs are $600-$700 including practices, coaching and 4 races over the season (May to September)
