The club has members of all ages, abilities and backgrounds who train together on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Prospective new members are always welcome to join us at any of our training sessions.  Don’t worry, you won’t be expected to turn up to every session – we welcome all levels of commitment, from the serious athletes to the casual social and fun paddlers. To get involved, and arrange your free taster session contact us.

Powerhouse DBRC will offer you a safe, fun and interesting introduction to the exciting sport of Dragon Boat Racing. The sport is suitable for all ages, both men and women, and you can start at any fitness or ability level. It won’t take long to develop your technique and strengthen your body. You don’t have to be fit to start doing something, but you have to start doing something to get fit.

A typical session will include the following:

  • A safety briefing from a qualified coach
  • A warm-up to get the blood flowing
  • Advice on paddling technique
  • Focused aerobic and anaerobic training pieces
  • Practice start sequences and race distances
  • Land based cool down
  • Friendly team banter!

Dragon boating is an all-body sport, which does not just focus on the arms and upper body. When done properly, Dragon Boat paddling works the muscles in your legs, back, shoulders and core abdominals. It’s a great sport to help get fitter and healthier.

Bring comfortable clothes (e.g. tracksuit and trainers, no jeans) and a small bottled drink, a change of clothes might be a good idea too!  We will provide all the equipment needed. More details are in the FAQ’s page.

Free taster sessions are offered to individuals (and their friends) to join us in the boat for our usual training sessions. For groups wishing to have a full boat to themselves will need to contact us for prices (to cover the equipment and coach/helm costs). Our usual day fees may apply, but discounts are available.
