Whether you swim once a week, or haven't swam in years, this program creates the environment for like-minded athletes to train and learn together. 

 

Like any new sport, there is a learning curve that is best followed with others, experiencing the same things as you.  There are sport specific skills to learn, there common

 

injuries that you need to prevent, and there are nutrition requirements to understand. 

 

TRI 101 helps you to navigate through the early experiences of a triathlete.
