Positive energy, support, life-lessons, creativity, and fun. We offer multiple levels of coaching based on age, ability, and competitive goals — there is a place in SLAP for every young athlete.
Our approach
It's about seeing potential in someone and teaching and pushing them just the right amount, all while keeping it fun and motivating. We aim to provide an organized culture that is positive and high performing.
Fun
So many benefits come from swimming, cycling, running, and triathlon: fun, friendship, healthy exercise, no single-sport specialization, self-confidence, and so much more. We make it a family affair too — many of our parents are involved in the sport or volunteer with the youth team.
three pathways
Kids of all ages and abilities are introduced to triathlon through fun group training sessions and age-appropriate youth races in Florida. Multi-sport fitness activities, weekly group training, and local race support — our goal is to inspire lifelong healthy habits.
The bridge between the 
youth program and the High Performance Squad. For committed athletes who meet our qualifying times, structured swim, bike, and run sessions build the skills, fitness, and race experience to step up to the Olympic pipeline.
The top USA Triathlon youth and junior team in Florida. We focus on racing the draft-legal Youth & Junior Cup series nationwide — and helping high school girls pursue NCAA scholarships. World-class coaching, data-driven training, and a relentless team culture.
