About this Event
Paddle with us on the lake! This is our first water season try it out for the year. We will first spend 30 minutes introducing you to our team, run through safety, teach paddling techniques. Then spend 30 minutes paddling together in our dragon boat.
because it will be early into the water season. We recommend you bring extra layers of clothing to keep you warm as you paddle, it is always better to shed layers, than to not have enough. If you have neoprene gloves/boots/leggings, it will be highly recommended.

More information on the sport
----------------------------------
Dragon boating has exploded across a wide variety of populations from recreational to elite athletes, able and special needs. It's growth can be attributed to it's need to have over 22 people on one team and the special bond that's created when training and racing with 10 women and 10 men together. It's the ultimate team sport.
The Water Vipers Dragon Boat team has been known for the last 15 years as a team that gets the most out of what it puts in whether its time, money and fun. Learn more about our team online here.
Season in brief: We have two teams. One for those whose goals are to compete at the highest levels and commit what it takes to get there and one for those that are looking for something more with a good paddle-life balance!
Our practice days are Saturdays 8:30 am, and Wednesdays 7:20 pm weekly from beginning of May until September
We provide options of committing to our 1 time a week practice team (Saturdays), or 2 time a week practice team (Wednesdays + Saturdays).
Our season lasts between May to September. We race four times a season. Once in May, June, July, and September.
All races will be in Toronto region.
Each year, we also plan an optional out of city trip. This year we are travelling to Hong Kong to race in June!
