Coming up on March 17 is our last pre-season practice! SOS will be putting on the greenest dry-fit garb we can find and paddling up the river Saturday morning. Meet up at Riverplace by 10 AM for an hour-long workout on the Willamette! RSVP here:

Let’s take it up a little…

Well, hello March! When did you get here?

That means in 31 days we’ll be into full-on Sync or Swim season so for this month we’re having TWO (2) Saturday Intro Practices. The first is coming up on this Saturday, March 3, at 10 AM. Last month we had a completely full boat – 11 benches full! That’s huge.

So if you want to get out on the Willamette and give this dragon boating thing a go – or if you’re already a paddler and just want to see what Sync or Swim is about – go to the link below and RSVP so we can have a spot for you on Saturday!

Another Intro Practice is coming up March 17 (St Patty’s Day!) so watch this spot for more on that.

Another Month, another Intro Practice

Yes, this coming Saturday, February 4, is the fifth in our series of our monthly Intro to Dragon Boating practices with Sync or Swim. As before, we’ll meet up by the Riverplace Hotel a little before 10 AM, do some introductions and maybe some warming up, then head down to the boats and go for a spin. Practice will be done at 11 AM, but you might want to stick around and have some breakfast at one of the Riverplace cafes.

All the details can be found on the Pingg invitation here. Make sure to RSVP so we get an accurate count of who to expect. See you Saturday morning!

Preseason Activities

Getting ready for practice On January 8th, Sync or Swim held another of our monthly ‘Intro’ practices on the Willamette, partly to get new recruits a taste of the experience and partly to get our own selves back on the water together.

We had a nearly full boat, with more than half the paddlers being new to the team this off-season! Coming up in February and March we have two more weekend practices, (first Saturday at 10 AM) so mark your calendar now.

Then starting April 1 it’s ON!

We’ll have practice three times a week, starting with some Sunday morning pool practices. Watch for more details here.

This Sunday: Paddling with Sync or Swim!

This is the fourth in our series of monthly intro to paddling sessions, leading up to the season’s official start in March, 2012. Grab your paddle, PFD and a friend and come on down for an on-the-water tuneup! (If you don’t have a paddle, a PFD, or a friend, that’s not a problem because all of the above will be provided.)

RSVP here: http://www.pingg.com/rsvp/z454ivjm4y36ig44k

We’ll do a mini-practice: warm-up, stretch, some coaching on technique and then a couple short paddling pieces… there might even be some singing. No fees, dues, bribes or tributes necessary – just come on down and try out paddling on a Saturday morning.

When & Where:
Sunday, January 8th, 10:00 AM
Meet at the flagpoles in front of the RiverPlace Hotel at 10 AM
One hour total time
