ANNUAL TRIATHLON CAMP
Each year in the last week of January we hold a Triathlon Camp. This focusses primarily on pool and open water swimming, transition skills for triathlon, cycling and running. This is suitable for fit beginners to intermediate athletes from Yr 7 to 13.
This is a great opportunity for kids starting out in triathlon to learn the skills required to put together a number of different sports in the one event. For more advanced kids, it's a week to prepare for more important events on the horizon, such as the National Secondary Schools Triathlon Champs, which are being held in Nelson in March 2018
