🌟 Ready to Try Something New? Join Our Introductory Dragon Boat Clinic! 🌟
Ever wanted to try dragon boating but didn’t know where to start? Are you unsure what it is? Now’s your chance to learn! Dragon boating is a team activity in a large canoe-like vessel where the team paddles in unison towards the 250 meter finish line. Our poolside Dragon Boat Clinic is designed for absolute beginners, so don’t worry if you’ve never paddled before. Whether you’re looking to have fun or explore a new challenge, we’ve got you covered.
The three instructors, Leah Gaskins, Julie Bryant, and Alison Kaiser, are seasoned and trained athletes with over 20 years experience combined. Julie is a fully certified coach and founder of the Unsinkable Warriors Dragon Boat Team in Salem. The Unsinkable Warriors team is celebrating their 10 year anniversary this year, and is completely made up of cancer (warriors) survivors.
These coaches will teach you the basics—proper paddle form, essential techniques, and how to paddle as a team. Plus, this clinic is all about having a good time in a relaxed, supportive environment. No pressure, just fun and learning! This clinic is taking place in the Lap Pool on Saturday, 3/22 from 10am – 12pm. The first hour is going to be spent learning about dragon boating and the second hour will be spent putting those skills to practice.
