Triathlon<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Over the winter you can take part in triathlon competitions. You run, swim and shoot at targets, or younger children throw beanbags to score points. We train for the shoot and encourage children to practice running and swimming too. Triathlons are very sociable events and are a great way to make friends and keep fit.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n
