Blue Fins Tristars is a non-profit making Triathlon Club whose aim is to offer coaching and competitive opportunities for children and youths aged 8-18yrs. The Club caters for triathletes of all abilities from novice to those competing at national level. Club members regularly compete both individually and as a team in various local, regional and national events. The Club is affiliated to British Triathlon (South-East Region) and has been awarded British Triathlon and Sport England Club Mark status.
The Club Membership is split into age categories defined by British Triathlon as Tristars (8-14yrs), Youths (15-16yrs) and Juniors (17-18yrs). Age is as at 31st December. The Tristar category is further split into age bands – 8yrs (Tristar Start), 9-10yrs (Tristar 1), 11-12yrs (Tristar 2) and 13-14yrs (Tristar 3). Race distances increase gradually across the age groups.
Membership is currently £10/annum. British Triathlon membership is also a requirement for Club Members.
Training sessions are run by British Triathlon qualified coaches. In season, April-September, sessions covering the various disciplines take place throughout the week with the main Club Session being Saturday, 2.00-4.00pm at Bicester Community College (playing fields) and/or Bicester Sports Centre. Winter training times differ. Full details of training times can be found on the club web site – www.bluefinstri.org. To help cover venue costs a nominal £1 charge is made for some sessions.
Want to have a go? Come along for free to two Saturday sessions. All you will need is a bike (in good working order), a cycle helmet (essential), swimming and running kit, squash/sports drink and lots of energy.
