SWIM BIKE PLAY! PROGRAM | 2 - 9 YEARS
Welcome to the "Swim Bike Play!" program at Kronos Triathlon Club for the 2024/2025 season! This initiative is uniquely designed for our youngest athletes, ranging from ages 2 to 9, who are just beginning to explore the exciting world of swimming, biking, and physical play. Here's all you need to know about this fun-filled program.
WHO IS THE PROGRAM FOR
"Swim Bike Play!" is perfect for young children who are new to swimming and biking or older children looking to develop foundational multi-sport skills. The program is tailored to nurture early athletic skills through engaging and fun activities that promote a lifelong love for sports and technical skills.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Swim: Coaches provide hands-on guidance in the pool, helping little ones learn essential swimming techniques. For children aged 2-3, parental presence in the pool is required to ensure safety and comfort.
Bike: The program introduces basic cycling skills through games and interactive activities. Older children who can already ride will engage in more advanced drills to hone their skills.
Play: A series of fun, physical literacy games and run drills designed to enhance coordination, motor skills, and overall physical health in a friendly and supportive environment.
PREREQUISITES
No formal prerequisites are required. Enthusiasm for trying new activities and having fun is all that's needed!
