Paddle with us
Our club hosts dragon boat introduction session regularly on Saturdays at the Community Boat Hub in Docklands Melbourne throughout the year.
During the session, we will go through some safety protocols and basic techniques of paddling on land and in the boat, and get you ready to paddle with us. Once you complete the introduction session, you can also join us on our regular weekday training sessions and paddle for free for up to 30 days (with a valid Dragon Pass – free to register).
