If you are aged over 14 years old and are interested in Dragonboat paddling come along and give it a go - no experience necessary. Caution - you will be in danger of making new friends,having a large supportive community around you, you will gain new skills and there is a danger of having fun too.
We meet at 2:00pm to be on the water for around 2:30pm for one hour.
Please wear sports wear and windproof jacket (no denim) and bring a drink for the boat
"Dragon Boating is an ‘Assumed Risk Water Contact Sport that may carry attendant risks. Participants should be aware of and accept these risks; be responsible for their own actions and involvement; and fully understand that they have a duty of care towards other participants in the sport".
Whilst some forms of “Paddle Sport” have an inherent risk factor, not all paddle sports are a `risk' activity. Dragon Boat Racing, which normally takes place on placid inland waters has a proven very low risk factor. However, no water-based sport can ever be totally safe.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
As activities resume, we are asking everyone who has contact with the lake water to continue taking some simple precautions:
• Shower as soon as possible after leaving the water.
• Rinse wetsuits, swimming costumes and other equipment thoroughly after use.
• Cover cuts, grazes or broken skin with a waterproof dressing before entering the water.
• Avoid swallowing lake water.
• Wash your hands thoroughly before eating or drinking.
• If you are pregnant or immunocompromised, please consult a medical professional before taking part in activities involving contact with the lake water.
• If you feel unwell following contact with the lake, particularly if you experience skin irritation, stomach upset, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache or flu-like symptoms, please seek appropriate medical advice and explain that you have recently been in contact with open water.
IMPORTANT – DOGS
Dogs should continue to be kept out of the lake and must not be allowed to drink the lake water.
