Who We Are
Read more about us in Seattle Times (7/25/2014): http://seattletimes.com/html/pacificnw/2024026642_0727fitforlifexml.html Watch us being featured in this short video and learn more about dragon boating: The Seattle Flying Dragons are folks who enjoy getting out on Lake Union to paddle. For those unfamiliar with the sport, dragon boating is a boat of 20 paddlers, a drummer, and a steersperson paddling to cross the finish line faster than their competition. It's a team sport in its purest form that encompasses the elements of power, speed, synchronization, and endurance. The appeal of dragon boating is that the sport can accommodate a wide spectrum of skill levels ranging from novice to competitive. It’s also a low-impact, full body workout for people of any experience level. Not to mention that it's lots of fun! We can make a paddler out of anyone - it's all about time on the water. We paddle year round on Lake Union, gathering four times a week in the parking lot of the Kenmore Air Terminal at the south end of Lake Union: 950 Westlake Avenue N. Newcomers welcome! See our Practices page for more info. During the Spring and Summer months paddlers can choose to compete in a variety of dragon boat races and other events. Have a look at our Calendar page to see what we're up to. Spotlight on our sponsors: The wonderful people at Kenmore Air have hosted our club since 2005, providing moorage for our three dragon boats on Lake Union. We are so grateful to have Kenmore Air as our host and primary sponsor. Thank you! Check out our Calendar page to see what we’re up to. And Flying Dragon Members, you can check out the coordinated race schedule on the Race Calendar page under the Members tab. You find detailed information and useful links about each event all in one location.
