What does my Dragon Start Give me?

You start your dragon boating experience with a single session “come and try”. It is a low commitment, first exposure to dragon boating.
When you finish your Dragon Start session and you decide you want to keep paddling, you transition directly into Dragon Pass.
Think of a Dragon start as the “sneak peek” and the Dragon Pass as the “all access test drive”. The transition expands your access from a single session into a comprehensive trial period that offers:
Four weeks free-trial membership
Dragon boat training
Safety induction
Time out on the water paddling
Community coffee’s and meet and greet
One Regatta (if it occurs in your trial period)

What happens on the day?

Timing for the day
9.00 arrive at the Paterson Lakes Canoe Club House for safety induction
9:45 on the water
11:00 coffee and meet and greet
What to bring?
Clothes that can get wet
Sunscreen
Comfy shoes
