Text by Laurel Sherwood, Canadian Dragons RepresentativeWith the cumulating race events right around the corner for the Canadian Dragon Boat Team, practices have been getting more intense and the excitement is booming. The first of these upcoming races is the Singapore Dragon Boat Regatta which is a mad dash of 300 meters. With both Men’s, Women’s, and mixed boats entered in this race we are hoping to walk away with some great results, amazing memories, and maybe even some hardware. Following the Regatta we have also entered boats in to the Sava Sprint Race, the American Thanksgiving Challenge, and the German Maneuver Cup. November is going to be a busy month.
Since the competitive season will be wrapping up soon, this is a great time to come out and try a practice. With one of Singapore’s top dragon-boat coaches calling the shots, and with a great mix of Canadian and non-Canadians alike, not mention a whole range of experience levels, you’ll fit right in! Come out and try us on for size and you’ll see that we’re more than just about getting our paddles wet. From the rewarding ‘cold one’ on the beach after practice, to pub crawls, Frisbee games and more, there’s something for everyone.If you want more information about joining the team, check out our website at www.canadiandragons-sg.org.
