Nurturing Young Triathletes
From 5 Years Old Onwards
Tri-Kids (short for triathlete kids) is our program to nurture and encourage young triathletes. We train kids as young as 5 to begin their fitness journey by training and competing in three different sports at the same time. Triathlons are special because each component requires different skills, techniques and mindset, offering a chance to excel and challenge yourself in new ways.
Triathlon training also improves fitness and especially endurance, building the foundation for a healthy and active life. If you want your kids to get off the couch and off their devices, you can’t get better than a triple dose of running, swimming and biking! Learning three different sports together keeps them engaged and motivated, so they can burn off excess energy while learning important sporting and movement skills.
Our Tri-Kids program is both fun and educational, inculcating the values of teamwork, discipline and personal resilience that will serve your kids for a lifetime. Kids train in a team and engage with their peers to form supportive friendships. They also learn to be independent from parents, gaining confidence that they can race and compete on their own. Tri-Kids is taught in age-appropriate ways, with regular mini-races and camps to cultivate good fitness habits and encourage progress, no matter where your kids are at.
