Dragon boat racing is a team sport where people can compete together in one crew. It is a high intensity exercise that offers a unique blend of endurance, strength and cardio so that the club members enjoy the benefits of comradery, team-building and health.
Dragon Boat Club of Southern Medical University (SMU) is one of the most distinctive clubs in the campus and has reaped many awards and won recognition since its establishment. The Club is dedicated to bringing people and teams together in the mindset of community, comradery, dragon boating spirits and competition through the dragon boat racing.
There are three training sessions in a week, each with a specific objective. The session of the vigorous technique training is coached by Jing Lake, while the on-water paddling session is carried out on the lake. The stamina and strength are gradually enhanced through systematic workout in the gym. Accordingly, physical strength, skillful techniques and team spirits, integral to a team’s success in the competition, are objectives of the routine practice.
Dragon Boat Club is a disciplined yet warm family, in which one can meet a group of like-minded friends, sharing and working together with them and building a lasting friendship, in which one can gain the unprecedented paddling experience and form a special complex with Jing Lake, and in which one can be warmed by the affection from time to time, and ultimately witness the personal growth of persistence and strength.
Paddles up! Here is Dragon Boat Club, bringing honor to SMU and venturing into the world.
