TriKids

Murray Healey and his helpers came to our school to tell us about 'Trikids.'  

TriKids™ aim is to support children into sport. Our programmes based around triathlon (swimming, cycling, running) are for primary school aged children and schools. Motivating and educating children to lead healthy lifestyles, developing fundamental movement skills and confidence through challenges and enjoyment are integral to our mission.
We learnt about the different transitions involved in a triathlon, from swimming to biking, through to running.  Murray told us about the importance of doing these transitions with pace with ‘safety’ in mind.  We all had a loads of fun, especially on the last day, during the water slide phase.  Special thanks to Murray (and the girls) for allowing us learn about (and practise) triathlons...who knows, there might be a future Olympian amongst us!!!
