Training Teams

The Tri 4 Schools Training Team program builds confident, healthy, happy kids. That’s what we’re all about.

Why Training Teams?

Supportive Training

Participants set their own personal goals, and then support each other by training and working together as a team over 8-10 weeks. Each team is coached by staff from the host site that know the kids they work with. Your child is in great hands!

Holistic Approach

At Tri 4 Schools, we want to grow happy, healthy, and confident kids. Each lesson incorporates social, emotional, and mindfulness topics, in addition to
to swimming, biking, and running.

Fun & Engaging

Triathlons are a blast, and training for them is even more fun. The Training Team program is designed to be fun and engaging so your kids stay excited about their upcoming race, regardless of their experience with athletics.
