TRISTARS
Optima TRISTARS Racing Team, was set up in 2005.
Since then the team has grown year on year and is an important part of Optima Racing Team. We are very proud of what our Tristars have achieved over this time.
A number of athletes who joined up as beginner Tristars with no experience in triathlon have gone on to compete at a junior elite level. The junior team have achieved some great results both as individuals and on a team basis including male and female junior national relay titles.
We believe that they are the most successful junior team in the UK.
TRISTART / TRISTAR
8-14 years*
Optima Tristars is open for 8 – 13-year-olds. Our training sessions are designed to be fun, engaging, and challenging, ensuring every young athlete reaches their full potential.
Join us for weekly squad training, and a chance to be part of a supportive and energetic team.
Whether it's your first triathlon or you're aiming to compete at the highest level, Optima Tristars is here to help you succeed.
Youth
15 & 16 years*
When our Tristars become youths we are looking for them to step up their commitment a little, as the fun and rewards of training come from dedication and improving performance.
As we all know, if you don’t put in some hard yards you end up achieving nothing. For this age group it’s an important time of their school lives with GCSEs so there is an emphasis on time management skills, skills they can take into their adults lives.
PATHWAY
14-17 years*
Optima Racing Team’s new Optima Pathway offers athletes a progression route, either towards the Junior Squad or for continued participation in the sport.
The programme features dedicated sessions focused on bike skills development. Participation is by invitation—contact us for details.
