Imagine being by the lakeside with your colleagues, stepping onto a Dragon Boat: a long, sleek vessel adorned with dragon heads and tails. Each participant grabs a paddle and takes their place on the boat. Then, the rowing begins!
Each boat can accommodate up to 20 paddlers, a steerer, and a drummer. Coordination is key: the drummer sets the rowing rhythm, while the paddlers follow the beat to maintain a smooth and synchronized movement.
The Dragon Boat team-building activity starts with a brief introduction to rowing techniques and safety rules. Professional instructors will guide you through the exercises and teach you how to row correctly.
Rowing together requires communication, trust, and teamwork. Each paddle stroke helps propel the boat forward, and synchronization among team members is essential to maintain speed and direction. During the experience, you will learn to coordinate movements, support each other, and work together to achieve a common goal.
The activity concludes with a small race between the teams, where you can test the skills you've acquired and enjoy a friendly competition.
