Regis is forming a dragon boat team to race in the 2013 Colorado Dragon Boat Festival, and paddlers who have signed up for the team have already started started to practice.  This past weekend, they trained using a pool simulator built by DRACO President, Michael J. Boyd.  A video clip showing the design and construction of this training device can be seen at the following link:  DRACO Pool Simulator
