After attending your free paddling sessions, inform our new member coordinator of your interest to join.  Instructions on how to register online will be sent to the email on file.  Dues can be paid by credit card during the online registration or by check made payable to "SCDBC".

Annual dues are currently $200 per membership paid March 1st of each year.  Pro-rated dues will be applied accordingly.

Besides paddling on the beautiful Banana River with the dolphins and manatees and developing wonderful friendships, it includes bi-weekly paddle sessions, use of team paddles and life vests, opportunities to participate in dragon boat festivals (races) both locally, out of state and beyond.

Team Snap communication tool for sports and team organizations is used to communicate team information.  Upon completing the online registration, a team profile and account is set up based on your assigned ID and password.  The site allows each member to set up a profile, access to roster of team members, see schedules, select your availability for each event, view photos and files related to the team.

Team merchandise can be purchased online at www.watersafety.com under the dragon boat section.  Items available include Team practice shirts, paddling equipment, and accessories and more at the team discounted rates.

Team race jerseys are controlled directly by the team.

Paddles are a personal preference and can be researched online. Some paddlers prefer the wood and carbon combo paddle, some like the full carbon paddles. They come in various composite materials and prices. You should be measured to get the best length for your height. Sometimes it is possible to demo paddles when representatives are available or at festivals.

The purchase of a paddle is not necessary as the club provides paddles for each practice and the festivals provide paddles at all events.
