1) My child does not know how to swim. Can my child join TriKidz?
Of course why not. We allow race participants to use kickboards, arm floaties or any other floatation devices as long as the child is comfortable and feels safe. Infact we also allow parents to swim along in the pool beside the child if necessary (but we do not encourage this). We at TriKidz want to encourage triathlon among our children regardless of their swimming background. Triathlon is for everybody and should be fun. Safety must come first.

2) How safe is the pool?
It is a 50m Olympic sized pool. We will have many lifeguards in the water as well as along the poolside. Safety of the children is our main concern. |

3) My child does not have a racing bike. What bikes do you allow?
Any kind of bike is allowed as long as the rider has to pedal it to go forward. |
 |
4) My child's bike has training wheels on them. Do you allow this?
Yes. Not all children can balance on the bike at an early age. |
 |
5) Do you require a bike helmet?
Yes it is compulsory. For safety reasons. |
 |
6) What kind of attire should my child wear for the race?
Please wear suitable and comfortable clothing for each of the three disciplines : swim, bike and run. |
 |
7) Do you provide food and water during the race?
We will provide bananas/watermelons and a few snacks at the transition area. Iced water is provided along the running course. No water is provided during the bike, so please ensure the child has a water bottle attached to the bike if necessary. |
 |
8) Will my child receive a medal after all this effort?
Of course!! EVERYBODY gets a finisher's medal. At TriKidz, everybody is a winner. |
 |
9) Does my child require to attend the triathlon clinic on Saturday?
We encourage all participants to attend our triathlon clinic. Triathlon is very new to many of us and we at TriKidz would like to educate our children with the proper technique of training and racing. It is very important that we train our children at an early age with the right stuff. TriKidz has two ITU-certified coaches that will be conducting our clinics therefore your child is in good hands and will be looking like pro-triathletes in no time. |

10) Why should I send my child to TriKidz?
