Junior Membership
We have a wide range of abilities aged 8 to 16, from beginners who can just manage a 25m swim to top athletes who qualify to represent London at the yearly national championships.
Training is fun but with enough of a competitive element to meet the demands of juniors who want to be the best they can.
There are a number of events run by organisations in and around London. These include triathlons, aquathlons and duathlons. We provide details so your junior can enter as many or as few as they wish.
And did you know that Alex Yee was a junior member at the club!
