Leweston Pentathlon Summer Camp: A Week of Training and Competitions

The Leweston Tetrathlon and Triathlon Summer camp was a resounding success from 6 to 11 August, attracting 90 young athletes aged 9-17. They honed their skills in swimming, running, fencing, shooting, biking, Triathlon, Biathle, Triathle, and sea swimming.

Participants were put in groups based on age and preferred disciplines, with the choice of residential or non-residential attendance. The camp boasted 14 sports coaches for the week, including 3 fencing coaches, 4 shooting coaches, and 7 Triathlon coaches specialising in swimming, running, and biking. This personalised approach allowed for smaller coaching groups within each of the 5 main groups.

The final day of the camp featured an Epee fencing and Triathlon competition in the morning, followed by a Triathle event in the afternoon. This allowed all participants to showcase the skills they had acquired throughout the week. These competitions were open to athletes not enrolled in the camp, providing them with the chance to join in the excitement and test their abilities.

Next year's Easter Camp will take place from 7 to 12 April, followed by the Summer camp from 5 to 10 August in 2025. Additionally, Leweston has exciting plans to host numerous Pentathlon and Triathlon events, along with training days throughout the year.
