Our Development Program

Beginning at age five, we offer opportunities for kids to experience triathlon.
We welcome kids who enjoy racing and having fun.

Come Join Otter Tri

Regardless of ability, we welcome you!
Through play, we teach movement literacy. Through swim, bike and run skills, we learn how to race. Most of all, we have fun!

Tri Teaches Movement

Kids learn movement and skills related to three sports. Strength, balance and coordination is incorporated in our training.

Tri Teaches Confidence

Kids learn to set-up transition, carry their equipment, organize gear bags, and gain self-confidence as they learn!

Kids Make New Friends

Kids make friends on the team, and while racing. It is exciting to train and race with friends!

Tri is Fun

We play antennae tag and wear cones on our heads. There is a lot of laughter at practice.

10 & unders

  • Otter Tri Team for the 10&unders is an extension of play.
  • While learning skills necessary to compete in triathlon, our Otters are also learning movement skills. Fun is emphasized!
  • Our Coach encourages this age group to explore a variety of sports and activities to develop movement.
  • For this age group, practices are broken into 5-8week blocks with practices one to two times per week, with a focus race or event.
  • Because of the age and skill levels, space is limited.
  • Registration for upcoming sessions opens about a month prior to the session start.
  • Please do not hesitate to schedule a Clarity Call, if you have any questions.
