New Club members are not left to fend for themselves but every effort is made to make you feel welcome and to assist you to be included in the Club as a valued member.  We understand that it can be difficult for new people to adapt to a new environment so we have in place processes to support new members:

  • a package of information is provided including information about paddling strokes and boat safety, exercise, stretching and nutrition and fluid replacement (produced by Sports Medicine Australia) and clothing. Great information is also available at www.smartplay.net .
  • club guidelines
  • experienced Club member to act as a contact point for advice, assistance and support to address any concerns you may have.

Dragon boating is not an expensive sport to participate in.  There are some costs, as with all activities, but the Club has fundraising activities that assist to keep these costs to a modest level.  The Club season sports membership fees for the 2009-2010 season are $230 standard membership , Juniors under aged 18 at 1 January 2008 pay $125, Full-time tertiary students pay $185. These rates include the Dragonboat SA Paddler registration fee.  There is an additional cost for the club race uniform ($40) and Club polo top ($30).

And remember you don't have to pay anything to come out and have a go!

If you enjoy water sports and want to get into a team environment then please consider giving it a try.
