OUR MISSION

Our mission at the Triathlete Factory Academy is to provide a fun, safe and supportive environment for children to develop their skills in triathlon. We aim to inspire a lifelong love of sport and physical activity, while promoting values such as teamwork, perseverance, and respect for others.

What does it involve?

Triathlon involves swimming, cycling, running and the 4th discipline - transition (how to move quickly from one discipline to another - against the clock!). They will be learning running technique and how to ride a bike safely and quickly, including how to use gears correctly, mounting and dismounting at speed. In the pool, we will help you improve your child's technique to make them a more proficient swimmer.
