ABOUT OUR PROGRAMME
The junior programme has been running since 2009 for children aged 10 years and above. It is run over Term 4 and Term 1 of the school year. We have a team of coaches who will help your children with triathlon specific skills across all three sports. All abilities are welcome however it is expected the athletes can swim at least 100m continuously without much difficulty to be part of the programme.
Children are split into groups based on age and ability.
