On-water dragon boat practices last about 90 minutes and include technique drills and race pieces, while incorporating elements of interval, endurance, and power training. This practice is held in a dragon boat. Bring a water bottle and sunglasses or a cap with a brim or visor. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting wet. The best materials are quick drying synthetics. Don’t forget to apply water-proof/resistant sunscreen!

Visit our FAQ page for more information about what to expect!

We suggest an early arrival if you have never been on a dragon boat before. We will give you a quick run-down of boat commands, calls, and basic paddling technique prior to launch.

Paddles and PFD life vests will be provided.

The address to the map to the Tempe Town Lake’s Marina is 550 E Tempe Town Lake, Tempe, AZ, 85288. At the end of practice, the crew will stick around for 10-15 minutes to help wash and put away the boat.
