We require a minimum of 7 paddlers, including a qualified helm and coach, for a session to go ahead. If a helm or coach isn’t available, we’ll cancel the session with advance notice via the Teamer app.
Why Join Our Dragon Boat Club?
Whether you’re interested in dragon boat fitness benefits or simply want to be part of an inclusive dragon boat club with great people, we’ve got you covered.
Our club is fully run by a passionate, 100% volunteer committee of 8 members. We put safety, fun, inclusion, and welfare first — both on and off the water.
We’re proud to have BDA-qualified coaches leading most sessions, ensuring quality training for all experience levels. Sessions on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays are designed to improve technique, fitness, and teamwork.
Thinking About Joining?
We welcome paddlers of all backgrounds — no prior experience needed. Whether you’re training for a dragon boat event in Bristol or just curious to join a dragon boat club, we’d love to see you on the water!
Just speak to a team member during a session, and they’ll introduce you to a committee member.
Easy Booking via Teamer App
We have approximately 60 active paddlers who meet on a Sunday morning, Tuesday evening and Thursday evenings. Attendance is entirely optional and many members come once per week or even once per month. There are also regulars who come to most sessions. We use the Teamer App to book onto each session. Coaches and members can all see who is attending each session, which helps with planning coaching and boat use. It’s very easy to use!
With Teamer, both coaches and club members can see who’s attending, helping plan boat distribution and coaching more effectively. It’s user-friendly, quick to join, and completely free.
What to Bring
Comfortable sportswear, water or any drink to restore your water balance and good mood
