Did you know that our YMCA hosts a Youth Triathlon every year? Their goal is to promote active, healthy lifestyles for kids in our community, what an exciting way to do that! This year is the 6th Annual Youth Triathlon set for Saturday, July 22nd. The event will be held at the Butler-Mason YMCA pool and Remington Avenue Sports Complex and will be professionally run utilizing an electronic/chip timing system. 2017 is the first year they are offering a youth triathlon camp the week leading to the up to the event. This camp offers campers the opportunity to work on skills in preparation for the event. You can always start preparing them now, though! The kids will be swimming, biking, then running. They should practice their transitions from swimming to biking and from biking to running. It is not always easy to do one thing right after another, so lots of practice can help give them a handle on it. Proceeds from the event support the YMCA swim team. Hope to see you all there!
