Parent-Child Dragon Boat

Over 2021’s Christmas, I was introduced to Hywind 海泓 who offered dragon boat trainings not only for adults; they’d held holiday half day camp for people like us to experience it with our children. And if children age 10 and above are interested, I know they’re planning for juvenile training. We were gathered at 沙田體育會水上活動中心 located right next to the HKCDBA Training Centre at On King Street. Put on life jackets and got our paddles. Trainer led everyone to warm ups and stretching before arranging positions in boat. Kids sat in front of their parents. Dragon boat rowing is different compared to kayaking. It’s single paddle, each responsible a side. Different posture and use of muscle strength in rowing. Trainers are clear with instruction and taught each and every one of us, including kids. My kids enjoyed rowing, and doing it the right way because they’re well taught. It’s a memorable experience for us. I was worried it’ll be too tired for kids, as us parents are first timer too, but we’re all good, having fun and pumped up after the little competition between boats. I didn’t think it’s such an enthusiastic activity, it’s full of adrenaline and team spirits especially when you know you’re almost ahead. It definitely requires tons of effort in working together, seems to be one of the most pumped up activity I’ve ever done.
