All levels are welcome!

As the number one diving team in Alps, Viking has the program for you. Lessons allow you to learn the basic principles of the sport in a safe and enthusiastic environment. Lessons are where the basic skills are taught (front jump, back jump, front dive and hurdles). Everyone is encouraged to come out and give diving a try, regardless of age or experience. Dive meets are Sunday mornings and competitors are divided by age groups.
Viking offers synchro lessons as well as a competitive program. Beginners will enjoy the synchro lessons, where they can learn the basics of the sport. The synchro team requires more dedication, as a routine will be put together and performed near the middle of August. Anyone interested must be present during the first week of practices so they can be evaluated and placed on the appropriate team. Participation in practices is an essential part of being on a synchro team.
