Until it reopens, we will be using a similar track in Dover every Thursday. (Our Wednesday sessions on the grass in Broadstairs will also continue as normal.)
Track training will be at the Duke of York's Royal Military School each week from 18:00 to 19:00.
We are currently inviting parents of children in Year 6 or above to book for the following dates in 2026:
January 15th, 22nd, 29th
February 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th
March 5th, 12th, 19th
These sessions will be perfect for children from a swimming background who have qualified for the National Schools' Biathlon Finals.
Every year, lots of children from Thanet's schools qualify. With years of swimming already behind them, they usually secure solid points in the pool. On the track, though, they often find themselves 'out of their depth'. (Sorry, that was a bad one!)
Pentathlon-GB have confirmed the dates for the finals:
Girls -- Saturday 21st March
Boys -- Sunday 22nd March
Our printable A4 Track Training Flyer would look great on noticeboards at work!
Although young swimmers will benefit enormously from these focused sessions, we are certainly not excluding others. Anyone in Year 6 or above who enjoys running and wants to improve their performance is welcome too. Just be sure to book in advance and complete the parental consent form so we know you're coming!
