Join us for a dynamic, technique‑focused Dragon Boat Paddling Clinic designed for paddlers of all experience levels.

Morning Clinic - 9:30-11:30am
This session will break down the fundamentals of efficient, powerful paddling—covering essential body framework and complete stroke mechanics—while emphasizing the teamwork, timing, and shared rhythm that make dragon boating such a unique and inspiring sport.

Afternoon Clinic - 12:30-2:30pm

Participants will also practice starts and work through race‑day scenarios to build confidence, synchronicity, and crew cohesion on the water. Throughout the clinic, each paddler will receive individualized 1:1 coaching to refine technique, deepen personal commitment to the boat, and contribute to a stronger team overall. Whether you’re new to the sport or looking to sharpen your competitive edge, this clinic offers skill‑building, camaraderie, and plenty of fun as you paddle stronger, smarter, and more efficiently together.

Lori Freit Hammes is an experienced coach and former Team USA paddler known for her passion for the sport’s mix of athleticism, teamwork, and community. As a longtime coach of the La Crosse Mississippi Sisters, she has helped build a strong culture of commitment, camaraderie, and continuous improvement. Lori is recognized for her technical expertise and athlete‑centered coaching, focusing on solid fundamentals—stroke mechanics, posture, timing, power, and race strategy—while fostering the trust and connection that make teams perform at their best.

The start of another season!

This practice will take place partially on land (covering safety, paddling basics, and equipment, getting to know you intros) as well as short paddle as time allows.

What to bring & wear:

• Water shoes (we wade in so wear shoes you can get wet). No flip flops

• Water bottle

• Sun screen

• Dry clothes (you may get wet)

Dragon Boaters, are you excited about getting on the water? Interested in practicing your paddling technique before we start our outdoor season? If so, this practice is for you!

Join Coach Kirsten at the Verona HS Aquatic Center, which is on the west end of the high school complex and has its own parking lot and entrance. There are directional signs and a sign on the building. The parking lot and pool are accessed from Victory Lane. 

When you arrive at the pool, tell the desk that you are here with the TSM rental, then head to the locker room. We will meet on the pool deck by the Diving Well a little before 3:30 pm. Please be on time so we can maximize our hour-long rental.

RSVP on the Heja schedule tab or email Teresa at teresas@teamsurvivormadison.org. Add a note if you will need a TSM paddle.

The start of our paddling season starts with our boat being moved to Brittingham Boats. We’ll move the boat from the trailer to the “wheels”. Bring a friend! Many hands make light work.

As trees begin leafing out, spring wildflowers also make their appearance. We’ll join a 1:00pm tour to learn about wildflowers in the Arboretum’s Native Plant Garden, led by Curator Susan Carpenter. Afterward, we’ll take a walk/hike on our own, either through the Longenecker Horticultural Gardens or through the woods, depending on what’s in bloom.

RSVP to Judy by Friday, 4/24, at jrweidman2@gmail.com

Join TSM for a hike and geocache adventure. Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting activity that uses GPS-enabled devices (your phone). In geocaching, participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the "geocache," (usually a hidden container of various sizes) at that location. It’s a fun addition to any hike. For more information about geocaching, download the free app at geocaching.com. You’ll need the app to find the cache.

Due to recent rain, we are meeting close to home for a neighborhood adventure. Join TSM and find geocache treasure with our TSM guide, Jill O.

Meet at Westmorland Park shelter for about a 2 mile walk and hunt. There is plenty of parking all around the perimeter of the park.

We will hope for no rain but dress for the weather. Any last minute change in plan will be communicated via email to those who have RSVPed and posted on the member Facebook page.
