Happy Disability Pride Month
insport Series: Tri Active
To celebrate the Para Sport Festival and World Triathlon Para Series returning to Swansea this summer, Welsh Triathlon, Disability Sport Wales and Swansea Council are inviting young people aged 9-16 to try triathlon at insport Series: Tri Active.
Do you work with a child aged 9 years old or older with a passion for sport and physical activity, who has either a physical or visual impairment? Have you ever thought about what their potential could be in competitive sport? See eligible impairments.
Para triathlon features competitive opportunities for people with physical or sensory (visual) impairments. Welsh Triathlon and the Disability Sport Wales Performance Pathway Team will be in attendance to offer advice on progressing in Para Triathlon and to raise awareness of other competitive opportunities in sport.
