Elliot Lee

Hello Vikings! My name is Elliott, and I'm currently in my second year of my science undergraduate at UBC. I am a Backstroke/Freestyler, and I have been swimming since I was 7 as a winter and summer club swimmer. I have been involved with the Tumbler Ridge Minnows, Comox Valley Sharks, Winskill Dolphins, and am currently a member of the UBC Thunderbirds varsity swim team. Last season was my first year coaching with the Surrey Sea Lions, and I cannot wait for the season and my second year of coaching to start with the Vancouver Vikings! I have a deep love for the sport of swimming and anything associated with it, and I am proud to pass on all the knowledge I've gained over the years. The Vancouver Vikings are an extremely respectable club and I'm excited for the experience to coach and build the reputation for future years.
