Triathlon Club
Swim. Bike. Run.
A year-round multi-sport programme for young athletes aged 6 to 16. Three disciplines, one team, unlimited energy.
ABOUT OUR TRIATHLON CLUB
The ultimate multi-sport challenge for kids
The triathlon arm of our club has been in existence since the club's formation in 2015. It remains a small yet dynamic division dedicated to developing the unique trio of disciplines of swimming, biking, and running that make up this challenging multi-sport.
Triathlon training is an excellent way to strengthen the whole body, combining three complementary endurance sports that strengthen the heart, muscles, and mind while spreading stress across the body instead of overloading any single area. All of that and, it's loads of fun!
THREE DISCIPLINES
Building complete athletes
Each training session develops one or more of the three core triathlon disciplines, with a focus on technique, fitness and enjoyment.
Swim
Pool-based swim training on Tuesday evenings. Technique improvement across all strokes, endurance building and speed work to prepare for open water racing.
Bike
Outdoor cycling sessions during autumn and spring on Thursday evenings. Building bike handling skills, endurance, and confidence on the roads and trails of Val de Bagnes.
Run
Running sessions as part of multi-sport training on Thursdays. Developing running technique, pace control and the mental toughness that triathlon demands.
TRANING SCHEDULE
Year-round training, two seasons
The training programme is divided into two parts, and members are expected to commit to both and train year-round. During the autumn and spring, training includes both pool sessions and outdoor multi-sport sessions. During winter, training focuses on swimming.
All age groups train together, which builds team spirit and allows younger athletes to learn from older ones.

WHY AQUA FITNESS ?
Benefits of training in the water
Whether you choose aquagym or adult swimming, exercising in the water offers unique advantages that land-based workouts can't match.
Full body strength
Three sports that work different muscle groups, building balanced strength without overloading any single area of the body.
Team spirit
Training together across age groups builds friendships, mutual support and a strong sense of belonging to a team.
Cardiovascular
Swimming, cycling and running together provide an exceptional cardio workout that strengthens the heart and lungs.
Goal-oriented
Competition events give young athletes concrete goals to work towards, building motivation and a sense of achievement.
Mental resilience
Triathlon builds discipline, goal-setting and the ability to push through challenges, skills that transfer well beyond sport.
Outdoor adventure
Multi-sport training takes kids outside into the stunning landscape of Val de Bagnes, combining sport with fresh air and nature.
RACING
Compete as a team
Our triathletes commit to taking part in a minimum of three triathlon events during the year for the 6 to 13 age groups, and two events per year for the 14 to 16 age group.
Events take place across the region throughout the season. It's a fantastic way for young athletes to set goals, measure their progress and experience the excitement of racing as part of a team.
Travel to events is the responsibility of parents, though we coordinate as a group whenever possible.
