For all ages, the recreational Dragon Boat team is a great team to jump in on if you’re interested in trying the sport of dragon boat paddling.
This team also includes the CANCER SURVIVOR team. Breast cancer survivors’ dragon boating is an international movement inspired by the research of Canadian sports medicine specialist Don McKenzie. Survivors of breast cancer join together to paddle dragon boats to the benefit of their physical health and social wellbeing.
The Newport Aquatic Center Dragon Boat Team is a fun-loving yet competitive group. The team embraces all ages, genders, and fitness levels. What matters most is that participants love a challenge, have a team spirit, and are ready to participate in regular practices and races.
