Register your troop(s) for in-water badge work, train for camp swimming or pure pool fun. Trained staff will lead Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts through in-water training. We can customize a program to fit your needs or use our own American Red Cross approved safety program.

Led by certified USAT coach Jody Frazier and Coach Lisa Farnick, you'll be led step-by-step through swimming, biking, and running drills over a multi-week period. Build friendships with your fellow athletes and feel the pride of crossing the finish line. The session includes a practice triathlon, preview of the race course, and an abundance of support from your fellow YDubbers. Check the website seasonally for training and fee information.
