Training Clinic
Are you attempting your first Triathlon race? Join our training clinics to be best prepared for the OSIM Singapore International Triathlon 2011.
The objective of the OSIM Singapore International Triathlon clinics is to provide beginners the opportunity to learn about the sport of triathlon and practice in a relatively safe and controlled environment, while intermediate athletes will get valuable tips allowing them to get to the next level.
Experienced professionals will touch on topics that provide the fundamental knowledge and practice required to participate in your first Triathlon race.
Participants will be able to experience similar conditions as on race day and swim safety marshals and ambulance (with paramedics) will be present in most training clinics.
