2011 Candlewood Lake Dragon Boat Race
If you are new to dragon boating - welcome! If you have raced with in the past year - welcome back! Dragon boating is an exciting team sport that's growing fast. What makes it so great? First of all, it's fun. Incredibly fun, actually...and you get to spend the day on Candlewood Lake with your family, friends or coworkers competing in a unique and thrilling sport. Also, you don't have to be an athlete to compete and you don't have to have any experience either.
Teams are made up of people from a wide range of ages and fitness levels...and everyone is here to have a good time. Some teams will be out there competing for first place bragging rights, while the focus for others is simply to enjoy the day competing on Candlewood Lake and spending time with their teammates. It's an event for families, friends and Lake Communities and because dragon boating teaches teamwork and unity it's used by companies throughout North America as a great corporate team building activity that will also prove to be a memorable day together for their employees.
The Candlewood Lake Authority first brought this event to Candlewood Lake in 2009 to bring people together for a day of fun and spirited competition on the Lake while providing a fundraiser for the organization. Because of the overwhelmingly positive response from those who participated last year, it's back for 2010. Your participation in this action-packed event will help them in their efforts to protect Candlewood Lake and provide public safety for its users.
Why Dragon Boating?
- Racing a dragon boat is an incredibly exciting sport…..it’s tough to describe in words...you’re better off experiencing it yourself.
- Dragon boating is more about teamwork than pure athleticism. Everyone is welcome and everyone contributes to the team once they’re paddling in stroke.
- We provide the coach, the boat and all of the equipment, you provide the team - it's that simple. We even coach each team in private practice sessions the week before. Practice sessions are a ton of fun and the feeling of when your team "gets it" and starts to paddle together and the boat rises on plane and glides across the water....it's so cool.
- The camaraderie and sense of accomplishment you develop with your teammates will be a lasting feeling, built on the memories created by this event.
- Events like these provide us with a greater sense of community and the proceeds of the event will go to the Candlewood Lake Authority who has dedicated themselves to protecting this beautiful lake so that future generations can enjoy it like we do.
