The diva race is a special one.
It’s when all the female paddlers gather, with support of the male members of
the team, and race against each other. This year the races were tight and
everyone had fun. The Canadian Dragons were lucky enough to secure a third
place finish, receiving a medal for their efforts. We are now in full training
for the Singapore Dragon Boat Festival, which is coming up on June 30 and July
1 at Bedok Reservoir. Once again we will be striving for some medals at these
races. Come on out and watch this fantastic event. When this is complete, our
attention will turn forward to late August for the 10Km race. This is a more
strenuous race requiring different stamina reserves.
We are a team of many
nationalities and welcome paddlers new to dragon boating or paddlers returning
to the sport but new to the team. 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. Hope to
see you soon.
