Annie Age 11 Testimonial

I started paddling with Viking Kayak Club when I was 7, and I’ve loved it ever since! At first, it was all about having fun on the water and learning how to stay upright—but soon I discovered slalom, and I was hooked. Slalom is exciting and challenging, and I enjoy trying to improve every time I go out. The coaches are really supportive and help me set goals, whether it’s making it through a tricky gate or shaving seconds off my time. What makes the club special is how friendly and encouraging everyone is. I’ve made loads of friends, and we always have a laugh—even when we fall in! Being part of Viking has made me more confident, and more focused. I always look forward to getting back on the water, and I can’t wait to see where paddling takes me next!
