Join Eastern Suburbs Dragon Boat Club
Joining
If you are interested in giving dragon boating a try, pop along to one of our training sessions. We recommend you join in our Saturday morning sessions. We meet at 7.30am outside the Scout Hall gates. Don't be shy to introduce yourself to one of the paddlers whom will then direct you to our headcoach to get you started!
The club has Male, Female and Mixed teams, so both male and female members are always welcome. We welcome all ages and abilities. The club meets at the Scout Hall on Vickery Avenue in Rose Bay for training. Check out our training times.
