Adelaide Sea Dragons Dragon Boat Club is planning to establish dragon boating at Mawson Lakes and will be providing the opportunity for enthusiastic people from the local community to get involved.

What is Dragon Boating?

Dragon boating is the world’s fastest growing water sport.  From its origins in China over 2000 years ago, it is now a major participation sport in more than 56 countries in the world and enjoyed by 50 million people.
 
What is it all about?

Dragon boating is an inexpensive, healthy, outdoor sport & cross-training option which can be enjoyed as a pleasurable social recreation or a highly competitive sport.

Sea Dragons own 2 boats, one of which they wish to relocate to Mawson Lakes and provide accredited personal to initially conduct 2 training sessions per week.

The Club encourages both men and women from the age of 12 years to establish Junior (12-18yrs), Premier (19-39yrs) and Masters (40+) categories.  They cater for all levels of fitness and ability to commit.
