Only three spots remain on the 22-person boat. Beginners are welcome and no equipment is necessary.
The Fighting Carps paddle every Wednesday along the shore of Lake Ontario at the Sunnyside Paddling Club, located near Lake Shore and Park Lawn. Weekly practices start in mid-June and run for 10 weeks.

A spot on the team costs about $170, which pays for two races, equipment rentals for all 10 practices and a team T-shirt featuring a unique design by a local JET alumni member.
The first adrenaline-filled race takes place on Sunday, Aug. 11, in Milton. A two-day regatta, the GWN Dragon Boat Challenge on Sept. 7-8, wraps up the season.
