What do kids like to do most of all? Swim, bike, and run with their friends. The C26 Youth Triathlon (C26 Ytri, Inc) program presented by USA Triathlon is the gateway for youth to enjoy their favorite three activities in one sport – triathlon. If your youth can swim the length of a pool unassisted and ride a bike, it’s time for them to tri triathlon.
What can your kids expect? FUN! We'll start with a pre-test in week 1 then focus on each aspect of a triathlon until the last week when they put it all together. You won't want to miss the smile on their face when they finish the mock race on the last day. Give it a tri!
