Learn to Paddle with the Edmonton Dragon Boat Racing Club!

Learn to Paddle is an introductory program that introduces paddlers to everything they need to know about dragon boating. Taught by experienced coaches and steerspeople, the course starts with basic water safety and paddling basics, and concludes with paddlers becoming familiar with technique and racing.

If you don’t already have a club team in mind, it will also help in choosing a team to continue paddling with.
