Absolute Triathlon Club

Launch new Junior Training Sessions

Hot on the heels of Olympic glory a new Triathlon training session for children aged 8 - 14 years will be starting at Southglade Leisure Centre on Thursday 14^th September 2012

The new sessions will form part of Nottingham's hugely successful Absolute Triathlon Club which launched in 2009 and has subsequently won a raft of awards including the Nottingham Sports Club of the Year. 

The club have already been running a thriving junior section at the Leisure Centre and it is hoped that the new sessions will attract new children all keen to take part in one of the fastest growing sports in the UK.  Triathlon is an endurance sport that includes swimming, biking and running.

Head Coach Steve Lloyd commented "Triathlon has seen a surge in popularity over the last few years and recently took centre stage at the London 2012 Olympics where British brothers Alistair and Jonathan Brownleee took Gold and Bronze respectively.  The sport is great for kids as the fun bit is training across the 3 different sports of swimming, biking and running.  We're really excited about the new sessions"

The club will cater for all abilities with three different training squads; Foundation, Development and Performance which will involve beginners to the sport as well as really push those showing talent in the sport.  Leading the coaching will be Steve Lloyd who is the current British Triathlon Federation (BTF) Performance-Development Coach of the Year and is also the regional head coach for the BTF West Midlands Regional Academy.

Steve commented "We already have a great bunch of kids in Nottingham and I am really excited about discovering new talent in the local area well as introducing children to this fantastic sport."

Children can trial for the club during the year that they turn eight, however they need to be able to swim 100 metres without stopping and ride a bike.  The new club runs from 5 pm to 7.15 pm every Thursday evening at Southglade Leisure Centre throughout the year and the session covers all 3 disciplines.  Sessions cost around £5.25 with a discount for siblings.  For further information please contact the Club Secretary Jayne Lloyd on 0115 9607912 or e-mail jayne@absolutetriathlonclub.co.uk
