Race preparation

By Sally Monteith / Photo by Eric Sinclair

We have seen a lot of dedication and determination these past few weeks by the Canadian dragons as we prepare for the upcoming Singapore river regatta races. We will be defending the title in the international business and club (expat) category. The competition is fierce with about 70 teams competing for this prestigious honour.

There is a slight lull until the New Year when we start preparing for the summer river regatta. This is a prime opportunity for new paddlers to come out, test the waters, and see if this sport is for you. There are many fun races coming up to give you a taste of race day and the intensity that is experienced by the team.      We are extremely diverse and welcome all paddlers, regardless of nationality. If you are interested in joining our fun team, come out for training at Kallang riverside park. We train in the boat on Saturdays from 4:00 – 6:00, and Sundays from 10:00 – 12:00. Please come 30 minutes early to sign in, get kitted out – we have PDF’s and paddles, and to warm up. You can always contact us through our website, http://www.canadiandragons-sg.org/?q=node. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
