Interested in Dragon Boating?

Want to get some exercise and have fun? Here is how you can get started Dragon Boating and what to expect:

Joining the club is as easy as showing up for practice; we’ll let you get in the boat to try Dragon Boating out for at least 2 times for FREE.  We love new paddlers!

The first step is to contact any of the below Clubs and find out when they practice. Second, show up and get in a boat!

Below are some good tips:

  • Show up for practice at the Tempe Town Lake Marina wearing clothes that you would work out in and don’t mind getting wet.
  • Bring a bottle of water, a hat and sun screen for yourself, we will provide you a paddle and a PFD (personal flotation device) to paddle in.
