Youth Triathlon Training Clinics & Coaching

Every year B&S Fitness and the City of Salem Park, Recreation & Community Services Department offer a USAT Youth Triathlon Training Clinic. This clinic helps local youth train for Salem’s Haunted City Junior Triathlon held in August each year. The clinic is geared toward kids who may already enjoy swimming, biking and running and are looking for coached guidance to successfully compete in a triathlon.

During the clinic, coaches and local triathletes from the North Shore Tri-Team (NSTT) will be on hand to help “fine tune” your child’s skill in each sport. There will also be triathlon specific mini-lectures that will include: Youth Sport Specific Nutrition, Injury Prevention, Endurance Swim Technique, Equipment Demo’s, and more. Your child will be exposed to the information they’ll need to have success while competing and finishing a triathlon while parents learn how to motivate, support and guide their child through this endeavor. Although our goal is to assist you and your child to find success in this sport, we also hope to promote fun and excitement through personal achievement.

Private or On-Line Youth Tri-Coaching
There are many different packages and coaching options to choose from. To get an idea, just check out the Triathlon Coaching web page, it would basically be the same.

Small Group Youth Tri-Coaching
If your child and his/her friends would like to set up a personal tri-coached session to help them prepare for a triathlon it would be a group rate so each child would pitch in to help defer the cost. It would be there own personal triathlon clinic planned around their schedule, level and needs. Each child will receive a training log to help them prepare for the event.
