JETS was started up in 2007 with the express purpose of introducing more kids to aquathlon and triathlon - Junior East Triathlon Squad or JETS.
For 2008 the club has organised a number of swim/bike/run training days at both Dalkeith High School and Prestonpans Mercat Gait centre as well as informal run and bike sessions in Holyrood Park. The club is open to all. We have had up to 24 kids ranging from 7 to 18 along to individual sessions so far. A number of ‘guest’ coaches have assisted lead coach John McPhail to date including John Dargie. If your son or daughter or neighbours/friends/relatives kids would like to give the swim/bike/run thing a tri (sorry!) then why not get in touch. Sessions will run throughout and winter.
As we are a small club we do not have the resources to teach youngsters to swim, so if you want to join JETS we ask that you come from a club swimming background.
We are always on the lookout for adults to help with the coaching, so if you can assist with swimming, running, cycling or keep fit coaching we would be pleased to hear from you
It’s a friendly bunch of kids and parents who are just keen to see kids enjoying themselves and keeping fit. The club does encourage kids to take part in events when they feel ready and some sessions are tailored to giving the kids experience of ‘event’ type conditions so it doesn’t come as a shock. Some of the older kids have a wealth of such experience and are able to pass this on to newer recruits.
