Canadian Dragons: Update

By Mindy Wong 

The Canadian Dragons of Singapore ended the first season of the year on a high note as we did well in the races. The crew of both experienced and new paddlers did the team proud in the SDBA-AustCham 10 km Dragon Boat Challenge, clocking an impressive time of 51 minutes and secured the 9th position amongst 23 local and expatriate competing teams.

In the Singapore Dragonboat Festival, our ladies 10-crew boat made it to the Grand Finals and was placed 6th in the National Open Women’s Category. The team is currently training hard for the upcoming Singapore River Regatta that will take place from 9-10 November in Boat Quay.


We welcome Canadians and their friends to paddle with the team, especially if you are looking forward to picking up a new water sport or hoping to attain a higher level of fitness. Training with us in the marina reservoir area guarantees to be a fun and interesting experience as we paddle past the iconic Singapore flyer and marina bay sands. Besides training regularly for the competitions, we also meet up for team social activities or just to chill out after work.
