Dragon Boat Racing attracts a wide range of age groups and physical ability groups, from both sexes, including the handicapped, all of whom race together in one boat in open competition. In addition to the main Open racing class of competition, there is provision for additional racing classes for Junior Crews (under 18 years old), Women's Crews, Mixed Crews and Senior Crews (over 40 years old). The spread of an 'Open' crew is well illustrated by the crew that won the 1st National Championship, which consisted of an age range from 9 (female drummer) to 49 (male steerer), with a mixture of male and female paddlers aged between 15 and 40.
Our club is currently the only one in South Wales.
We have been going for 2 years and are growing, but we still need more people! The crew is varied in age and level of fitness but the team spirit is high in all of us.
This year we had 6 paddles who represented Great Britain and next year we hope for more.
Click on the link below to meet the individuals that make up the team or why not come and meet us in person (Not all of us bite, just Dave)!
