At 70, JFD helped me to get in much better physical shape and lose weight, while having fun in a unique way!

I was welcomed into a dragon boat family. I am in awe of the strength, endurance, and the compassion this team has. It has been a great experience and I look forward to many seasons to come.

I signed up for their free practice. I went with my husband and a friend and we all had a great time. Love the camaraderie, love how the JFD members were kind and welcoming. The time we spent on the water was intense but the best workout ever…nothing beats having fun while building your muscles and stamina

I’ve been Dragon boating with JFD for a number of years and have found it to be a wonderful way to meet people of all ages and from many different backgrounds. It’s a great form of exercise that uses the entire body and teaches teamwork to move the boat. If you have a competitive spirit, the races are a fun way to show it!!
