New junior triathlon group launched in Burnham-On-Sea

A new group aimed at creating triathlon stars of the future has been launched in Burnham-On-Sea.

Burnham Swim and Sports Academy has started a Junior Triathlon group for children aged 8 to 14.

Burnham Swim and Sports Academy's Martin Rogers told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "Triathlon is one of the fastest growing sports in the country and involves swimming, running and cycling."

"The sessions give the children an all-round fitness base while learning the technical skills of triathlon."

The group's young members, pictured here, train every Wednesday from 5-6pm and Saturdays from 10.30-11.30am, sometimes on the town's beach.
