Name: Cleveland Dragons - Paddling Training - Get Race Ready!!
Start: 2025-10-02T22:15:00.000Z
Location: Merwin's Wharf

First time paddling
For the first time paddling, ***Nothing! No paddling experience! No swimming experience!*** will be required. We just need you, and your willingness to paddle with us. We will take care of everything else which include:

* Safety devices
* Paddles & Boat(s)
* Waivers
* Steersperson
* Trainer/Coach

**DRESS CODE:**
**Aim to be comfortable:** clothing should be comfortable and are quick drying or self wicking. Other things to consider when coming to dragon boat paddling:
· **BOTTOMS:** Shorts, track pants, leggings are all fine options
· **TOP:** T-shirts, muscle shirts, or anything that is again tech material or light (avoid cotton – it gets heavy when wet and take a while to dry)
· **SHOES**: water sandals, crocs, light weight trainers can all be worn, expect them to get soaked
· **WATER BOTTLE** – you will get thirsty, so bring a water bottle with you
· **SUNSCREEN** –outdoor sport so protects your skin. FYI: The sun reflects off the water and can double burn you!
· **HAT/BANDANA** – Should definitely be worn to keep the sun or rain or wind off your face
· **SUNGLASSES** – To protect from sun and water glare, don’t wear designer glasses as they may fall off your face, into the water, and be offered to the reservoir gods.
