2026 Swim with the Vikes
Sunday, October 4th, marked the annual Swim with the Vikes event. Eighteen swimmers participated and enjoyed an exciting afternoon of learning, racing, and fun.
The session began with swimmers selecting a stroke they wanted to focus on and receiving technical tips and feedback from University of Victoria Vikes athletes. They then moved on to starts and turns, where they watched excellent demonstrations and learned how national-level U SPORTS swimmers perform these key skills.
The event concluded with relays, giving participants the opportunity to race both with and against Vikes swimmers. The afternoon wrapped up with snacks, prizes, and Vikes merchandise.
A special thank you to the University of Victoria Vikes swimmers for making this event such a memorable experience for our athletes. We are excited to continue to offer Swim with the Vikes again next year.
