The “Intro to Triathlon” Series returns with two sessions to get you ready for summer events!

These clinics are designed for adult athletes (see our Kids Summer Program for youth programming), whether you’re taking on a new challenge this season or just want some tips on how to improve on past performances and build confidence for the season ahead.

For 2025, we’ve split our clinic into two sessions – one focused on bike & run and a second focused on open water swims.  Each session will be led by a team of experienced coaches, there to welcome you to our sport and offer their best lessons learned from seasons of racing experience, all designed to make your races safer, more efficient and more enjoyable!

Part 1 – Bike & Run – May 22nd

• The first session of our clinic will focus on cycling, running and transitions
• The cycling portion will include a few points on control and tips for racing
• We’ll practice mounts and dismounts for the bike start and finish
• Run training will focus on overall efficiency and tips for settling into your pace after transition
• Both active practice and some discussion (rules / pacing / nutrition) will be included
• We’ll happily accommodate any pace for the active parts of this session

Part 1b – Duathlon – May 27th

• There’s no better way to practice your Bike & Run skills than a duathlon
• We recommend participants in Part 1 of our clinic follow-up with Duathlon in the Park event
• Note – the duathlon event requires a separate registration beyond these clinics

Part 2 – Open Water Swim – May 29th

• The second portion of our clinic will focus on open water swim skills and pointers for swim success.
• Content will include tips for getting wetsuits on / off and keeping comfortable for the swim
• We’ll cover various types of swim starts, sighting, turning at buoys and swimming in a pack
• Finally we’ll look at preparation for transition to bike and the remainder of your triathlon event
• Swimmers should be physically able to complete a 300m swim and we’ll help with the confidence!
