The juniors train twice a week, once at RAF Cranwell swimming pool and once at St George's School for land training.
Swimming
The swim session is an hour in length and focuses all all strokes, to help develop well rounded athletes. When juniors join the Club, they will be given a trial session. To attend the swim sessions, juniors need to be able to swim 50m unaided.
The swimming sessions splits athletes into three groups, dependant on ability, with expert coaching delivered by Bev and Robert.
Land sessions
Land sessions comprise of running, cycling, general conditioning and transition skills.
During the winter months, the training is completed inside in either the school gymnasium or assembly hall. As the weather improves, we head out onto the playing fields for a little more space.
Periodically, additional sessions are held at Activities Away and Sherwood Pines to help develop open water and bike handling skills.
Once a week, the Foster Cup is awarded to the junior triathlete of the week. This can be for effort, skill, or a combination of the two!
