Bayside Triathlon Club
Junior Program

At Bayside Triathlon Club, we want to help the next generation experience the fun and achievement from multisport.

Triathlon ABC's

AGILITY

Agility: is about being able to alter body position quickly and efficiently, in a wide range of situations. This component is especially important getting in and out of the water, during transition phases and when changing direction.

BALANCE

Balance: all of the elements that make up triathlon require some form of balance with cycling being the most obvious.

1. Static Balancing (standing still)
2. Dynamic Balancing (on the move)

COORDINATION

Coordination: is the ability to control different parts of the body to deliver smooth and efficient actions. A well-coordinated triathlete will ensure all actions are well timed, effective and efficient.

What Level Are You?

To make it easy to understand the appropriate levels for your children, we have broken the levels down into 3 colours using the Australian Green & Gold and our Bayside Blue.

Green Level

Our entry level junior program that has a focus on learning the fundamental skills of swimming, biking and running.

If you've not had an assessment and you are unsure of your child's abilities this is the right level to start off in.

GOLD LEVEL

Our intermediate program for those under 14 years of age.

This is a progression from the Green Level and will look to challenge the technical abilities further in each discipline.

Please ensure you have spoken to the coach before booking into this level.

BLUE LEVEL

Our junior program for those who are 14 or above and are looking to get involved in an active lifestyle but are not concerned about racing.

Sessions will be tailored to the particpants and incorporate education and leadership components.
