Practice FAQ’s
1. Where is practice held?
Practices are held at Vilas Park.
The June 13th practice sessions will launch from a slightly different part of the park, as we will be borrowing a dock.
The June 25th practices will shift to the temporary dock that will be installed for the race.
Please see the link to a map for a better idea and check out the blue place markers: http://tinyurl.com/2fx32zs
Hint: Look for the really big (45 feet long) brightly colored boats and go there. Team Survivor Madison members will be on site directing people.
2. What do I bring to practice?
Bring an open mind, clothes & shoes that can get wet, and maybe some dry clothes for the ride home. A water bottle can come in handy. Also, come ready to have fun!
Paddles (specific to dragon boating) & PFD’s are provided. You are welcome to bring your own PFD.
Bring your waivers and Festival paperwork.
3. How long is practice?
Practice will be 55 minutes long. Please arrive early to allow for the time it takes to coordinate 21 people. If you are late, we cannot run practices late.
4. What if I can’t get everybody to practice?
We understand that it’s hard to get 20+ people in the same place at the same time. Practice attendance is as much about safety as it is training. Additionally, these boats are very heavy. If 16 people show up for practice, the boat is going to feel and paddle much differently than it will on race day when the boat is full making it sit lower in the water. Greater results, success and fun can be anticipated if everyone shows up for practice. We require a minimum of 16. If it looks like it won’t happen, let us know in advance so we can figure out a way to make it work.
5. Will we paddle if it’s raining?
Yes. It’s a water sport, we usually get wet anyway.
