Training sessions fees are up to £5 payable before each session starts, via Book a Session.
Our swimming sessions offer structured training to improve technique and fitness. They are not suitable for children who are learning to swim for the first time. We ask that all children attending are able to swim at least 100 continuous metres of a recognised stroke, preferably front crawl.
If you are joining our training sessions for the first time you are welcome to attend three sessions before you decide if you would like to take up membership or not to enquire about this please email:
All junior members representing Wakefield Junior Triathlon Club are expected to adhere to our Code of Conduct when training and racing. There is also a separate code for parents and carers of junior members, again we expect this code to be followed at training sessions and races. Copies of both can be found in the footer under policies.
