Chesapeake
Travel Team
Coach: Becky Arturo
The goal of this team is to grow youth athletes’ passion for triathlon and develop advanced skills through fun filled and challenging activities. In addition, this team will teach the foundational skills necessary to advance to a Draft Legal High-Performance team. This team is best for strong swimmers who are interested in increasing their competitive level, and families who can commit to traveling. We ask that athletes commit to the East Coast Triathlon Festival (Richmond, VA) and USA Triathlon Youth and Junior National Championship (Milwaukee, WI, tentatively) and at least three, but as many team scheduled youth events as possible.
​
