The Lagan Dragon Paddling Academy

Our Paddling Academy is designed to introduce novices to paddling. If you wish to join Lagan Dragons and have no previous paddling experience you will be invited to attend the Paddle Academy.

Comprising of several one hour weekly sessions, you will learn the basics of being part of a Dragon Boat team. The Academy takes place once a year. One hour introductory ‘try it’ sessions are held during the two weeks preceding the Academy, providing an opportunity to meet the dragons, get out on the river and experience the joy and camaraderie of paddling in a dragon boat.

This programme is facilitated by our wonderful coaches and experienced paddlers who can’t wait to  support and encourage you.

At the end of the programme there will be an opportunity to take part in a race and a graduation ceremony where you will receive a certificate, a Lagan Dragon team tee shirt and a nice cup of tea and cake!  After graduation you can join the weekly paddles and find the time and level that works for you.
