Whilst many members of this groups may not compete in triathlons, they will be encouraged to do so either individually or as part of a relay team
Group F train for two hours from 8.30am to 10.30am on Saturdays during school terms. From Sept 2020 the group is for those who were born in 2003 to 2008 inclusive who will race in either the Tristar 3, Youth or Junior age groups in 2021.
Swim training is now provided on Sunday mornings and is an extra session to Saturday training; more information can be found here.
