A great coach changes everything — the plan you follow, the skills you build, and the confidence you line up with on race day. From your first sprint to the World Championships, we build it all around you & your goals.
Ways to train with SLAP
For nine years our beginner-friendly program has guided first-time athletes to their debut sprint triathlon — training in Central Florida and on the actual race course at Clermont's Waterfront Park. Led by Coach Beth or Coach Don, we already have sessions planned for 2027.
See How It Works →Hands-on triathlon skill sessions that dial in the details — open water skills, transitions, pacing, sighting, nutrition, race rules, and so much more — everything you need to line up on race day confident and prepared. Book a single session or a series to watch your confidence grow.
What do we offer →When you're ready to take your racing to the next level, start with a plan built entirely around you: your goals, your schedule, your experience. With one-on-one guidance from a SLAP coach, you'll train smarter, stay accountable, and see real progress — and join the

Start here
New to triathlon? You don't need experience or fancy gear — just a willingness to try. In six weeks, our coaches take complete beginners from "I've never done this" to finishing a local sprint triathlon: a 1/4 mile open-water swim, an 8 mile bike ride, and a 5K run (walking totally counts). You'll train with a welcoming crew of #SLAPPERS who all started right where you are.
Every session includes a personalized TrainingPeaks plan, two coached workouts a week and optional team swim practices. Training builds from technique to endurance to race-day skills, at the same venues local racers use — and on race weekend the whole team is there to cheer you across the finish line.

Master the Essentials
Every athlete has a weak spot — the climb that scares you, the transition that costs you time, the open water that rattles you. Work one-on-one with a professional SLAP Coach on exactly what you want, at your pace: fix a weakness, build confidence, break a plateau, or master something brand new. Whatever skill you'd like to improve, we can help.
Sighting, drafting, wetsuit use, and mass-start confidence.
Fast, calm T1 & T2 — racking, mounts, dismounts, and gear setup.
Cornering, descending, gear choice, and confident bike control.
Even splits, effort control, pacing, and a plan for your race day.
Reviewing your current fueling plan and dialing in what you need on race day.
Pack skills, safety, and etiquette so draft-legal race day feels familiar.

Personal coaching
Personal coaching is about much more than the workouts themselves. Your coach gets to know you — your goals, your schedule, and the way you like to train — and looks after the whole picture: race selection, nutrition, strength work, and injury prevention, not just swim, bike, and run. When life gets busy, your plan flexes instead of falling apart, and you've always got someone in your corner for pre-race planning, post-race debriefs, and race-day support.
Your plan is crafted for your fitness, swim ability, strengths, weaknesses, and goals — never a template. Local athletes train with their coach in-person for immediate technique feedback, and your coach is only a text away.

Train with coaches in person for immediate feedback — and we're at races with the team tent.

Swimrun, duathlon, aquabike, open water, trail, and marathon — we've raced it.
Good to know
We use an app called TrainingPeaks. Every week, your coach drops your personalized swim, bike, and run workouts right into your app calendar. When you finish a workout and sync your smartwatch or phone, your coach can see exactly how you did, leave notes, and adjust your next block of training.
Custom coaching means you get your own dedicated coach who designs every single workout entirely around your unique goals, your busy work schedule, and your personal life. Group practices are scheduled in-person meetups—like our swim practices—where the team gets together to work on technique, get a great workout, and hang out.
Introduce yourself and tell us about your triathlon and endurance goals. We'll get you started on the right path — we've got a program and coach for athletes of all levels!
