FAQ
FAQ
What is Dragon Boat Racing?
Dragon boat racing is the one of the oldest continually raced sport in the world, originating in the 4th century BC on China’s Mi Luo River. Using long boats sporting a drum, dragon head, and dragon tail, teams send crews to compete against each other in a variety of distance races. Each crew consists of 20 paddlers, a steersperson, and a drummer. Dragon boat racing is a sport that promotes physical growth, and as a team sport, highly encourages bonding between the members of a crew.
Do I need an athletic background to join?
We don’t require any kind of athletic background to be considered for our team. We have plenty opportunities for both beginners and experienced paddlers to learn and push their limits to new heights.
Do I need to know how to swim?
Knowing how to swim is not required to join the team. During practices on the water, members always have a personal floating device (PFD) equipped. During most regattas, PFDs are mandatory.
Are there any fees?
Like any sport, the maintenance of equipment and administrative services do come at a cost. The club is run entirely by volunteers. They take care of all of the logistics that make it possible to participate in the sport. Team operations are sometimes subsidized through team fundraising efforts during the season.
Come on out and sign up for our ZWL Dragon Boat First Step which includes 8 lake training session and a complementary personal floating device (PFD). After that you'd be eligible for a membership at a monthly fee. Alternatively, you may attend our training at a pay-per-session basis every 2nd and 4th week of the month. Send us a message anywhere to learn more.
If I decide to join as a member do I need to attend every session?
This will really depend on your personal paddling goals and commitment level. Certainly some member will miss practices due to the regular demands of life. Just remember that the more practices that you attend the better you will become.
What are people on the team like?
ZWLDBT members reflect a broad range of age, professions, interests and backgrounds. But we are all united in working together as a team to pursue our passion for good food, fun and of course competitive dragon boating. The best way to find out what the team is all about is to come out to a practice and see for yourself.
