Please see below for requirements.

Camp Requirements

· Swim any front stroke 25 yards unassisted.
· Have their own bike and ride without training wheels
· Have a bike helmet CPSC approved, that fits them properly

· Athletes will need a swim suit (swim caps and goggles are not required, but fun to have), towel, shorts, shirt, sneakers, socks, water bottle, sun screen.

USA Triathlon Membership
· All KidzTri3 events are sanctioned by USA Triathlon (USAT) and therefore athletes must have a USAT membership to participate in any KidzTri3 event.
· Parents can obtain a USAT Youth Membership before camp by visiting www.USATriathlon.org and purchasing an annual membership. This membership is good for one year from purchase and is good for all USAT sanctioned races and camps no matter where they’re located in the United States.
· If you do not purchase a membership online, you will be required to purchase one the first day of camp. Checks or cash are accepted forms of payment. Checks are to be made payable to KidzTri3.

Participant Age – USAT Rules
Participant Age is the athlete’s age on December 31, 2015 in accordance with USA Triathlon Guidelines. As an example, if your athlete turns 7 this year, but is 6 during one of our events, they are eligible to participate since they will be 7 on December 31st. If your athlete is 15 and will be 16 on December 31, 2015, they will have aged out of all KidzTri3 programs and events and are not eligible to participate.
