Why We Row

This isn't a Math test.

This is a completely different kind of test; one where PASSION has a funny way of trumping logic.

And if there is something we have in abundance of in Team PLK, it is HEART.

The countdown to the battle has begun. Let's go, Team!

PLK Whoooosh!

About Us

PLK PADDLERS (Paya Lebar Kovan CC Dragonboat Team) was inaugurated in July 2007.

The PLK PADDLERS Vision: To be a caring and cohesive team that is synonymous with excellence.

"The beauty of being in a team sport is that motivation often comes from your team-mates - this is why you may have noticed regular members pushing you on; telling you not to stop in the middle of 10km row, to lift up your punching arm higher. Because ultimately, dragonboat is a team sport, and the boat will only surge forward if everyone does their part."

Words of Wisdom from Coach:
"Can we do better? We can achieve better results if we can work on the following foundation:- SRS foundation.

S - Skills

(techniques, training methods)
R - Relationship

(fellow team mates)
S - Spirituality

(commitment, passion, vision)

For without skills - our achievement will be limited
without relationship - we will be lonely with no one to share and finally without spirituality - our team will not last.

I hope that all of us will build upon it as we continue to scale new heights in the next race."

- Coach Kim Hwa
