Dragon boat is a team paddling sport that originated over 2,000 years ago in ancient China. Today, it is one of the fastest-growing water sports in the world, known for its combination of teamwork, rhythm, and strength.

A standard dragon boat holds up to 20 paddlers, along with a drummer who sets the pace and a steersperson who guides the boat. Success depends on everyone working together in sync, making it a true team sport.

Here in Chattanooga, the Chattanooga Dragon Boat Club brings this global sport to the local community. Whether you’re looking for a new challenge, a way to stay active, or a team to be part of, dragon boating offers a unique experience unlike anything else.
