Who is Tellico Heat Dragon Boat Club?

We were started as Tennessee Heat in 2015 by two Floridian transplants who had been active with the Florida Heat Dragon Boat Club in The Villages. In 2016 a small but dedicated group embraced the sport and with patience and commitment sustained the Club through its early years. As Tellico Village continued to grow, the club did as well, attracting like-minded people looking for outdoor fitness alternatives. Over time, a core group of leadership developed who have attended training & coaching camp - back-to-back years - at their own expense - returning to share their training with the club which has supported the ongoing safety and skill development of each paddler.
