the next generation

The future of triathlon is very important to us, and we have had a junior section within Stirling Triathlon Club for many many years – in fact our Head Swim Coach used to be a member of our junior section!

We currently welcome new junior members to the club aged 10 years old and above.

swimming

Junior swim training is held from 8pm – 9pm on Wednesday evenings at the University of Stirling Sports Centre, and we have currently have 3 x 25m lanes dedicated to our Junior Sections.

We would ask that juniors are at least of Swim Skills 3 ability before joining the club as they need to be able to swim 25m in order to be be comfortable with our swim sets.

Older juniors may also swim within our adult lanes if their swimming ability permits.

Juniors may also attend our Sunday 10.45am – 12.45pm session at the University of Stirling pool, but they must be a competent enough swimmer to follow a swim set without 100% supervision. This is a coached session but the coach will also be covering adult lanes too. The coach for this session is happy to have a chat with any parent should their child be interested in attending this session.

run & cycle

We currently do not have any dedicated run and cycle sessions for juniors, but older juniors (age 14+) are welcome to join in our Intervals run session held on a Thursday night at 630pm, usually on the University of Stirling grounds.

We do hope to offer more junior sessions again in the future.

TASTER SESSION

We offer one free swim and / or run taster session so you and your child can get a feel for the club and whether you / they would like to join.
In order to attend a taster session you must email us at hello@stirlingtriathlon.com first so that we can book you in with the University, let the coaches know, and arrange for someone to meet you at the Sports Centre reception.

You may also come and watch one of our swim sessions should you wish but please contact us again first before attending.

MEMBERSHIP

Annual junior membership is £30 for a rolling 12 month period.

Your child would also need to join the University of Stirling to attend the swim sessions at the junior rate of £25.25 per month. Please note that the monthly junior rate is bespoke to STC as the University don’t currently offer memberships to Under 16s and needs to be set up at the reception desk at the university. 

Alternatively, they can join as a Pay as You Go (PAYG) member. If you chose PAYG individual swim sessions are charged at the current swim rate applicable to public sessions which is £4.30 for a junior.
