Well I went dragon boating with my class, on our first way to there we walked and went on a little hike looked around burnaby lake and we found different trees,a raven’s nest, and many flowers. We got to the parking lot of where we were going to dragon boat the parking lot looked very familiar I use to go to that parking lot to ride my electric scooter! And when we got on the water we learned how to paddle and a tap drill and once we got faster I stuck my fingers in the water and it was very refreshing.
The second time we went we had a race and lost oh I forgot to add that we had teams we spilt up into two team my team was Team TIGERS the other team was Team AQUA when we raced the other team and lost but it was fun either way my glasses kept slipping and I felt like it was going to drop in the water while I was paddling! We learned a new drill called “The Wait Drill” paddle once wait for a few seconds and do that until we stop.
The third time we went my team played tug of war against each other the boat almost tipped all the way over it was fun we didn’t have winners but still really fun we met up with Team AQUA and al of a sudden two team mates from Team AQUA just came into our boat then we paddled around then we were going to the dock to go into Team AQUA’s boat! we started to paddle and then the people behind me AND in front of me thought it was going to be funny if they splashed me with water and the worst part was the back people was shovelling water with their paddles all over me instead of paddling and i got out SOAKING I wanted to tackle the people that made me soaking!!
