OUR PARTNERS
In my first year as an Academy Triathlon athlete, I remember watching in awe, as three older members of the squad headed overseas with the Australian Age Group Team to compete in the World Championships. I dreamed that one day I would be fortunate enough to follow in their footsteps. Learning how to train for swimming, cycling and running, and how to put it all that together into a race was a huge task. This is where the Academy really helped. The Academy program provides a great opportunity to learn and develop skills and build on your strength as an athlete. The assistance we all receive in our pursuit of personal excellence and to achieve our dreams is Inoutstanding.myfifthyear with the Academy, I was selected in the ‘Australian Age Group Team’ to attend the ‘2022 World Triathlon Age Group Championships’ in Montreal, Canada. It is fair to say that I am both honoured and humbled by the thought that I get to wear the Green and Gold, and achieve my dream. Without your support, we would never be able to take on the opportunities that we are presented with.
