EMERALD  LAKES COMMUNITY/CORPORATE  DRAGON  BOAT  FESTIVAL
SUNDAY 18TH OCTOBER, 2009

The Broadwater Dragons Paddling Club will be hosting their inaugural Emerald Lakes Community/Corporate Dragon Boat Festival on Sunday 18th October, 2009.
 
Broadwater Dragons Paddling Club formed in 2001, and has been showcasing the sport of dragon boating to the wider community through these community, corporate and social dragon boat festivals since 2003.
 
Nifsan and the Emerald Lakes community are proudly supporting this event, which Broadwater Dragons plans to become an annual event on the lake.  
 
The Corporate/Community dragon boat festivals are all about having fun, promoting team spirit and participation as well as introducing the wider community to the sport of dragon boating.
 
Dragon boating is a sport for people of all ages, of differing abilities, and a sport the entire family can enjoy together- from the juniors to the grand parents. Broadwater Dragons promotes fitness, fun and friendship, with the opportunities to travel nationally and internationally to competitions.
 
The March 2009 Paradise Point Dragon Boat Festival hosted by Broadwater Dragons was another of our hugely successful regattas. Fantastic people with fantastic weather, with awesome attitude. Twenty teams resulting in over 450 competitors, and many more spectators. The racing was friendly, fast and furious, with the Grand Final a very close finish.
 
To see so many paddlers from such diversified business and backgrounds all having such a great day was hugely rewarding for our Club. The Finals
saw eighty competitors on the water simultaneously, all doing the exact same physical action- a statistic that only dragon boating can boast.
 
Broadwater Dragons have just returned from the Australian National Championships in April, winning two silver medals and bronze medal. From 40 clubs competing at the Nationals, Broadwater Dragons finished 4th overall, making Broadwater the 4th strongest Club in Australia. Broadwater Dragons qualified to compete at the World Club Crew Championships in Penang in 2008, and finished 7th from a field of 27 teams in the 2000m race.
 
As Broadwater Dragons continues to grow and recruit new members of all ages, and abilities, it’s ethos of “having fun while getting fit” will never be forgotten. With fun and friendship comes a strong desire to perform to the best of your ability.
