First time paddling
For the first time paddling, ***Nothing! No paddling experience! No swimming experience!*** will be required. We just need you, and your willingness to paddle with us. We will take care of everything else which include:

* Safety devices
* Paddles & Boat(s)
* Waivers
* Steersperson
* Trainer/Coach

**DRESS CODE:**
**Aim to be comfortable:** clothing should be comfortable and are quick drying or self wicking. Other things to consider when coming to dragon boat paddling:
· **BOTTOMS:** Shorts, track pants, leggings are all fine options
· **TOP:** T-shirts, muscle shirts, or anything that is again tech material or light (avoid cotton – it gets heavy when wet and take a while to dry)
· **SHOES**: water sandals, crocs, light weight trainers can all be worn, expect them to get soaked
· **WATER BOTTLE** – you will get thirsty, so bring a water bottle with you
· **SUNSCREEN** –outdoor sport so protects your skin. FYI: The sun reflects off the water and can double burn you!
· **HAT/BANDANA** – Should definitely be worn to keep the sun or rain or wind off your face
· **SUNGLASSES** – To protect from sun and water glare, don’t wear designer glasses as they may fall off your face, into the water, and be offered to the reservoir gods.
· **RAIN/COLD/WINDY WEATHER:** Bring a shell (such as raincoat/windbreaker jacket/waterproof jacket) that can fit over existing clothing layers.
Walk with an extra dry set of clothing to change into after the event, nobody wants to travel home cold and wet.
