Training & Coaching Sessions
Junior Training
Coached Swim Sessions
Swim sessions are held at Ripon Grammar School throughout the year, during term time. All sessions are coached by our BTF accredited coaches.
Following an informal swim trial to assess ability, you will then be allocated your weekly swim group.
- Group 1: Monday 18:45-19:45
- Group 2: Wednesday 18:45-19:45
- Group 3: Monday 19:45-20:45
- Academy: Wednesday 19:45-20:45
Coached Bike/Run Sessions
We hold weekly bike/run sessions on Thursdays 18:30-19:30 at Ripon Racecourse lake from the end of April until the end of August.
Children are split into groups based on their Triathlon Age Group and coached by our BTF accredited coaches and SBR Leaders.
The sessions are typically bike/run training on the field and around the lake. However, we also use these sessions to host open water swim sessions in the lake (with senior member support) and our Inter Club Championships.
