We will rock you


NEWS (March 28, 2025): Registration for the 2025 season will open very soon, by April 1st.  We are very happy to have Catherine MacInnes as our coach again this year.  


Note: The Water Wizards team that practiced right after We Will Rock You in 2024, will be merged into other teams.  Returning Water Wizards have the option of joining this team (Tuesdays at 5:50 PM), the Flying Dragons team (Thursdays at 7:10 PM), or the Strokes of Luck team (Saturdays at 10:30 AM).


This dragon boat team was formed in 2022 and we are excited to be heading into our 4th year in 2025.  Both experienced and new paddlers are very welcome to join us.  ANYONE can participate in this inclusive sport and the Rusty Dragons make it a rewarding and fun experience for all.


The team is excited to have coach Catherine MacInnes as our coach again.  Catherine is not only a great coach, but has a long resume of dragon boat achievements, including as a race official for large dragon boat festivals.
