Welcome to the BDA Website
The British Dragon Boat Racing Association is the governing body of dragon boat racing in Great Britain. Dragon boat racing is one of the fastest growing and most exciting water sports you can take part in. The BDA is responsible for all aspects of the sport from community development up to managing British teams racing abroad. It runs a National League calendar for racing crews all round the country together with the National Championships held annually at the National Water Sports Centre.

The BDA Executive have endorsed the recommendations of the National League coordinaters and confirmed the moves between league divisions. Worcester Dragons and Secklow 100 will step up to the Prenier Division after their convincing performances in 2009. Colenorton and Three River Serpents will take part in the Standard Division for 2010.

The new season begins in less than a week at the London Regatta Centre on Royal Albert Dock, good luck to all the competing crews and the organisers and their officials. It will be party time with Thames Dragons after the BDA AGM which follows the awards for the day.
