After a successful 5 years the Beginners Triathlon camp is back by popular demand.
The swimming will mainly be in our 50 metre pool but if you want to try an open water swim, we have our very own Lagoon, which is perfect for beginners, as there are no strong currents or big waves.
The runs will be held in and around Club La Santa. We will have some on and off road runs but we will also do some work on our track.
The training
The camp will cater for all abilities from beginner to experienced who are interested in various distances – Sprint, Olympic or Long distance. In other words, this camp is for everybody. We will be aiming to improve your technical knowledge of the sport whilst also increasing your fitness.
On some evenings we will be holding lectures on various triathlon-related subjects and we will have some open forums, where you can test the coaches’ knowledge and experience. Athletes joining should be able to swim at least 100m front crawl.
The Instruction Team
The head coach is resident Club La Santa coach Philip Price but we will also have some help from the Green Team. All of the team are familiar with the Island of Lanzarote
Phil Price
Phil is a coach at Club la Santa, with almost 30 years experience of coaching in Triathlon, Athletics, and Cycling. He’s the former Welsh Triathlon Coach and Manager, former Welsh Veteran 5 km track Champ, and many times County Champion
