Dragon boat racing is the ultimate team sport. Stamina, strength, timing and teamwork are critical elements of any dragon boat racing team.

We train as a team on a Tuesday evening at 7.15 pm and a Saturday morning at 9.15 am.  Between March and October we're on the river on a Tuesday night and in winter we move to our on-site gym.  For those keen to do more we have a fleet of O1 individual training boats, paddling ergos and weights.  

Our team of coaches works with individuals from absolute beginners to members of the GB dragon boat team to help them set their own personal training goals and achieve their ambitions.

We are recruiting new paddlers.  Find out more.

We are a racing club and encourage all our members to race however new to dragon boat racing.

We race in the top division of the National Dragon Boat League as a mixed, open and women's crew.  Regattas take place all over the country from Exeter to Stockton.  The main racing season is from April to September with a final two day National Championship in Nottingham.  Races are between 200m and 3000m including turns, pursuit races and head to heads.

Winter brings the 8k Henley Winter Series on the famous regatta course followed by Sunday lunch – very civilised as you would expect from a Henley Regatta!!

Dragon boat racing is the fastest growing water sport and races happen all over the world.  In the past few years our overseas trips have included Alicante, Hong Kong, Venice, Ravenna and Cyprus.

We have previously competed in the spectacular 26 mile Great River Race through London - the dragon boat equivalent of marathon racing.

We're proud of our members that compete for GB, many of whom have won multiple medals at World and European level, bringing international experience to our paddling and coaching team.

We're sociable and fun!

We love a cup of tea or coffee with a slice of cake at the clubhouse after Saturday morning training, and organise regular social events including local drinks, barbeques, Sunday lunches and even a Christmas party!

Shared facilities with rowing, canoeing, outrigging and skiffs make the Teddington Watersports Centre clubhouse a busy and social meeting place and give an opportunity to try out other water sports.
