Latin Dragons Singapore is a Dragon Boat team comprised of Latin members.
The team was founded as an initiative of a group of girlfriends, that wanted to create a social space for Latino women while practicing Dragon Boating.
With the years, the team made way to the men team members with the aim to grow and expand the vision of the founders, being a reference for the Latin community in Singapore.
