DESIGNED FOR BEGINNER TO INTERMEDIATE YOUTH ATHLETES
Our programs in Charleston/Mt Pleasant and Summerville are designed for an individual that enjoys active, physical movement and is motivated by the challenge of practicing multiple sports. Throughout the season, participants will develop as individual athletes and as members of a team, mastering new skills and discovering athletic talents. A program highlight includes watching our athletes compete in local youth triathlon races – racing as individuals, but as part of team Palmetto TRIbe! Race-day experience provides our athletes an opportunity to see practice efforts across the 3-sport disciplines fuse together!

Athlete must be able to swim 50yd (2 laps) continuously and unassisted. Any bike in good condition with working brakes, greased chain, and inflated tires is good to go! Training wheels are not allowed. Each athlete must have an active USAT Youth Membership.
