Do participants need to be reasonably fit?
Dragon boating is a relatively safe sport and not as strenuous as many other sports, given the team effort. It does not require a person to be fit to get going. However, to be on the safe side, participants with pre-existing heath conditions (like hypertension, high blood pressure etc) are required by Water Venture to obtain health clearance from their physician before signing up for this program.

A small dragon boat can take 10 people while the larger boat will accommodate 20. So, the minimum number would be at least 10 participants.
