Juniors

Clwb Triathlon Llanelli established a Junior section in 2004 for children aged between 6 - 16.  The junior section currently has over 30 members, with us having a regular turnout of over 20 kids every Thursday evening. We make every effort to ensure that the children enjoy themselves whilst trying to ensure they are able to reach their potential. We welcome kids of all abilities and through structured coached sessions we are able to encourage the kids to become fitter and healthier through exercise.

During the summer months from April – October we are outside at the Festival Fields where we can combine cycling and running. On the bike they are taught good technique, improved handling skills and how to make best use of the gears they may have. They also learn about the Transition skills needed in Triathlon from bike to run.

During the winter months from November to March we are indoors at the Llanelli Leisure Centre. At these sessions we concentrate on running skills and building there endurance base so that they are able to complete the distances required at there particular ages. If possible we take the older kids outside when the weather isn’t too bad so that they can receive the kind of training sessions that will over the winter months assist with there cross country races.

Above all we try to make all sessions enjoyable. The focus is very much on the kids having some fun whilst improving there general levels of fitness.
