RHKYC - Rowing and Paddling

Another great week of summer camps!

Our young paddlers got to try dragon boating, outrigger canoe, kayaking, and stand up paddling while our young rowers developed their skills on and off the water.

We have a few spots available for our camps end of July and August. SIGN UP!

Vivian Leung and Mark Welles hit the water this weekend, competing in the Mixed Double (Mix2x) at the 2nd “Round Disneyland” Race in Shanghai! 🇨🇳

Hosted by Shanghai Dianshan Lake Rowing Club, this unique 10km course pushed crews through 6 bridges and 4 tight turns around Shanghai Disneyland.

With 27 boats on the course and crews setting off in head race style every 3 minutes, conditions were perfect: cool, cloudy skies and a helpful tailwind.

Despite an equipment issue that cost them a podium spot, Vivian and Mark powered through to an impressive 5th place finish 💪

🔥 Already looking ahead and hoping to return next year with an even bigger RHKYC crew!

We loved hosting a Junior Dragon Boat Family Experience Day with Marymount Primary School led by a few of our Royal X team members!

Families learned the basics, paddled together, and created unforgettable memories on the water - all while building confidence and teamwork.

Interested in organizing a similar experience for your school?
