paddlersDragon boat racing is one of the fastest growing water sports in Canada. It provides the ultimate team participation, is available to men and women of all ages and is fun and challenging. The benefits include overall fitness (a full-body workout including core, legs, arms and cardio-vascular), a group of new friends and views of incredible scenery.  

The Pearl Warriors
Dragon Boat team began in Powell River with a group of enthusiasts in 2004 and has grown from there. We paddle on the beautiful Powell Lake. Dragon boating on the West Coast first appeared in Vancouver as a demonstration sport at Expo 86. Vancouverites liked it and interest started to grow. There are now teams up and down the coast and on Vancouver Island.

Silver Dragons The Powell River Senior Dragon Boat team originally formed in 2007 for one purpose – to compete in the B.C. Senior Games. A senior team came together again for the 2010 B.C. Senior Games.

This sport is one that can be enjoyed by almost everyone. No special skills or abilities are required and it's affordable. At the novice and recreational level the team provides a social outlet, team building and exercise. It can be taken to the next level of competition.

Most people who try dragon boating and race with a team in a festival will become hooked on the sport!  Festivals attract many spectators who also find the teamwork, colourful boats, sprints and close finishes very exciting to watch.
