WHO WE ARE
Dragon Boating is a fast growing and exciting water sport, where teams of up to 20 paddlers, a drummer and a helm are competing in sprint or long-distance races. It is a great way of building fitness, endurance and friendships.
At Kingston Royals, we have a train hard, race hard, play hard approach to dragon boating. We train twice a week on a beautiful part of the Thames between Teddington Lock and Hampton Court. As a UK Premier League racing club we encourage all members to train and race, regardless of experience. We’re also a very friendly lot organising regular social events either at the club or at a local nightspot!
Kingston Royals is one of the oldest dragon boat clubs in the country, and proudly celebrated its 35th birthday in 2023.
