I am happy to have found Dragon Boating as a passion in life. I coach for the Tacoma Dragon Boat Association and enjoy sharing and learning all things paddling.

A wonderfully detailed and technical Dragon Boat Training Manual - via HKIPC
Hong Kong Island Paddle Club - Training Manual
The purpose for this training manual is to develop a comprehensive information base addressing many of the aspects of Dragon Boat and Outrigger training and racing. There is a tremendous amount of documentation available for sports such as canoeing, kayaking and for general fitness, however, little specifically targets training for Dragon Boating or Outrigger Canoeing. The function of this manual, therefore, is to define the general training principles for similar sports and to relate them to a specific regime that would most efficiently improve paddling performance.
The information presented in this manual incorporates knowledge borrowed from many other athletes and coaches who participate competitive Dragon Boat and Outrigger racing locally and internationally. By seeking to amalgamate this broad range of information, the manual is intended as a resource for Club members to explain why we do what we do in a larger context and for other teams who also desire to evaluate their own standards or methods of training by comparison.
The end product for the Hong Kong Island Paddle Club is the Training Programme which prescribes training activities for a complete season that should ultimately turn ‘mush to muscles’ and make the boat go faster.
