PADDLER CATEGORIES

Tellico Heat embraces all fitness abilities. Training is structured to meet each paddler where they are, through skill-building and encouragement which will be geared to propel each paddler toward their fitness and/or competition goals. Any paddler may attend any practice as long as their fitness and skill levels meet the requirements of that level. All inexperienced guests must attend Level 1 Fitness paddles.

Open to Tellico Village & Surrounding Communities

Introductory Paddles

Introductory paddles are held for the first few weeks of the season for people who are new to the sport of dragon boating and are considering joining the club.

New paddlers are able to attend two “try it first” sessions on water before payment of dues is required.

Introductory paddles may be held as separate sessions early in the season depending on the level of interest and sign up, however, individuals considering joining the club later in the season may attend a Level 1 Fitness session.
