WHO WE ARE

Dragon Boating is a fast growing and exciting water sport, where teams of up to 20 paddlers, a drummer and a helm are competing in sprint or long-distance races. It is a great way of building fitness, endurance and friendships.

At Kingston Royals, we have a train hard, race hard, play hard approach to dragon boating.  We train twice a week on a beautiful part of the Thames between Teddington Lock and Hampton Court.  As a UK Premier League racing club we encourage all members to train and race, regardless of experience.  We’re also a very friendly lot organising regular social events either at the club or at a local nightspot!

Kingston Royals is one of the oldest dragon boat clubs in the country, and proudly celebrated its 35th birthday in 2023.

Our Team

We’re a team of men and women of mixed ages, varying levels of fitness and paddling ability but we work together and support each other to be the best team we can be, on and off the water.

James & Anna - our Captain and Vice Captain - the Dream Team!

Tina & Shai - when they’re not on the water, they’re organising socials!

We’ve got a very experienced coaching team to support our ambitions, including a Paralympic Canoe Coach (recently awarded an MBE for services to paddle sports), a sports techie with the British Olympic teams and a Business Psychologist.
