Club goals include promoting and developing the sport, promoting cross-cultural understanding through community outreach programs, conducting corporate team building, and recognizing the sport as a tool of health and wellness.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently more than 100 members on seven different teams, some of which compete in festivals across Florida and Georgia. The club owns three 20-paddler boats, paddles and life vests. Teams under the club umbrella rent equipment for practices and include Scorch (a co-ed team), Orlando Sirens (women\u2019s team), C.H.A.R.G.E., Crush (a cancer survivor team), and three Dueling Dragons teams comprised of Orange County Deputies, Orlando Police Officers, Orlando Fire Fighters and inner-city teens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI certainly would recommend dragon boating to everyone,\u201d said Melissa Romero, club administrator and captain\/coach of both Scorch and Sirens. \u201cThe sport is friendly to both young and old. It\u2019s forgiving to those who haven\u2019t been very active, and it\u2019s also great for those who seek competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Romero explained that members have the option of simply coming out to get exercise and socialize with teammates\/friends, or joining the race teams and traveling for competitions. Paddler ages range from the mid-teens to upper 60s. \u201cEveryone gets along, and we have some of the most welcoming folks around,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Wong echoed Romero\u2019s sentiments. \u201cOne of the reasons dragon boating is such a great community sport is because it offers all people, regardless of their background or fitness level, the opportunity to participate, either competitively or for fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Dragon Boat Club, go to <a href=\"http:\/\/orlandodragonboatclub.com\">http:\/\/orlandodragonboatclub.com<\/a> or email <a href=\"mailto:orlandodragonboat@gmail.com\">orlandodragonboat@gmail.com<\/a>.
