iCAN:Tri is an opportunity for youth of all abilities to improve their swim, bike, run and transition skills in preparation to complete a youth triathlon. This 4-day training program is supervised by USA Triathlon Certified Coach Jenny Weber and other experienced athletes and members of Z3 Junior Triathlon Team.

In a supportive environment, athletes will learn:
• How to train and compete safely
• The benefits of good nutrition/hydration
• Why visualization and goal setting increase success
• The secrets to a positive competition experience
 
What is ICAN:Tri? The program name stands for Inspire, Create, Achieve
and Nurture youth through physical activity, good nutrition, camaraderie,
teamwork, and sportsmanship. The sport of triathlon serves as a vessel
to get youth excited about their health and well-being today, tomorrow
and years to come. Our work stresses the importance of participation
as winning and fosters achievement at every level.
