Pendragons Dragon Boat Club


New Paddlers Welcome to Try Dragon Boating


 Our trial dragon boat sessions are held on the Nepean River, Bruce Neale Drive

or 

Sydney International Regatta Centre, Castlereagh Rd, Penrith Lakes. 

(We meet under the "breezeway" between the boat-sheds on the island)

 
See Google Map link Nepean Rowing Club

See Google Map Link Sydney International Regatta Centre


This Olympic class venue provides paddlers with showers, toilets and ample parking. Few clubs ever have the opportunity to paddle at a venue of this quality and the Pendragons are the envy of others. 


 Prior to attending a Come and Try Session and to book a seat in the boat please email registrar4pdbc@gmail.com 


We offer 5 free training sessions

  • Initially you will need to sign a standard Dragon Boat NSW waiver form to "come & try"
  • You will need to be double vaccinated against Covid 19 and be able to show proof
  • You need to wear a life jacket if you can't swim 50 metres in light clothing
  • Accredited sweeps will keep you in a straight line and experienced coaches will ensure that you are applying the correct stroke technique so you can enjoy paddling safely
  • We suggest you don't eat a heavy meal just prior to paddling
  • Boats and paddles are provided


What to Bring

  • Water - 500ml to 1 litre - bring it on the boat (no glass)
  • Rash shirt/T shirt/Singlet/thermals - on cold days/spray jacket - on wet days
  • Aqua shoes/old joggers. Bare feet is not advised as the floor of the boat can get very slippery
  • Hat/Sunglasses/Sunscreen
  • Change of clothes - this is a water sport, you will probably get wet!
  • A sense of adventure and humour is a must!






recommendations

 "I'd never heard of Dragon Boating till a few weeks ago... Yesterday, I attended my second try out with the Pendragons at Nepean Rowing Club. It is SUCH a good workout! 💪😆 If you wanna give something new a try, get in contact with Jane through their Facebook page They are offering the first FIVE training sessions/lessons for FREE! The Pendragons are a super inviting, encouraging and supportive group of people. Afterwards, we hang at the Rowing Club for a (well deserved) coffee or beer. It's hard yakka, but if I can do it, just about anyone can - Lauren McLean



Thankyou to the wonderful group of people who welcomed me at this mornings paddle. I enjoyed every minute of it and I can’t wait to come back and try again !! Kim Hogan
