Email from Fusion Triathlon for those who like to swim run and cycle !
We are very excited to announce Fusion Triathlon’s 1st Junior Triathlon Camp
Running as a ‘mini’ 3 day camp during the short February school holidays, we will be providing a fantastic opportunity for kids aged 8 – 15 to train in the disciplines of triathlon of swimming, cycling and running but to find out more about the sport, learn about racing, the right nutrition, bike maintenance and how to stretch properly. Delivered by one of Scotland’s most successful Junior Triathlon Clubs, with very experienced professional triathlon coaches, the camp will be run out of Bellahouston Leisure Centre, perhaps the best location in Scotland for Junior training, with a 6 lane 25 metre pool with anti-turbulence ropes, a dedicated cycle activity centre with miles of closed road cycle routes and brilliant run routes. It will also allow you to practice on the course for the Youth Champs which take place in August.
The programme will begin on Sunday 12th February, incorporating the regular Junior session starting at 8am, but will then extend till 2.30pm allowing workshops to be run indoors as well as some fun activities.
Monday 13th February the timings will be 9am till 3.30pm. We will be working on swimming, cycling and running through the morning with workshops and a special activity in the afternoon.
Tuesday 14th February the timings will be the same as Monday. We will again work on all the sports, but will include a competitive ‘mini’ Duathlon and work on some open water practice in the pool.
We request that all juniors can swim 2 lengths front crawl with their head in the water, have a working bike and mandatory helmet. And also come prepared with warm, waterproof kit for outdoors. We will have an hour lunch break and the kids should bring money for the café or a packed lunch. We would be delighted to accept kids for any club or even kids who are interested but never done any triathlon before, as long as they meet the above requirements.
This camp is really open to all abilities, so we hope to see you join us!!
The cost of the camp is £60 for the 3 days
