Get ready to paddle for Naomi House & Jacksplace!
Join us for a day of exhilarating Dragon Boat racing, where teamwork, excitement, and community spirit take centre stage. We invite you to paddle in a historic race, compete against other teams, and enjoy a day of fun and camaraderie on the water.
Whether you're a seasoned paddler or a first-timer, gather your team of friends, family, or colleagues and compete aboard vibrant, traditionally styled dragon boats. With rhythmic drumming and synchronized paddling, it’s a spectacle as much as it is a challenge!
Dragon boat racing is a fun-filled, adrenaline-pumping, water sport activity!
Teams of up to 11 people sit in pairs in the dragon boat – a large canoe-like vessel, decorated with carved dragon’s heads and tails – and paddle together in races over distances of around 200m.
Each team also has a drummer to keep the paddlers in unison, and a professional helmsperson to guide the boat.
No experience is necessary as full training on land and on water is given on the day.
A dragon boat race event is a fantastic way for corporate teams to bond and have fun together! Here’s why it’s such a great team-building experience:
- - Everyone will need to be working together in perfect synchronization and communicating.
- The physical effort involved is a chance to break away from the office and enjoy some exercise while bonding with their colleagues.
- A day out of the office to participate in something exciting and different can boost team morale.
Overall, dragon boat racing is a dynamic and memorable way for teams to bond, improve collaboration, and boost their collective spirit.
