How should talented athletes get involved?
Getting involved in Performance Pathway activity.
The first stage of Pathway – Triathlon Clubs - is open to all athletes. We would encourage all athletes new to the sport to join a club as you will be provided with some very valuable input and support that will enable you to develop at a far faster rate. More information on clubs can be found here.
The first selective stage of the Pathway is Academies, aligned to the Athlete Development Framework, these run in England, Scotland and Wales and all the information that you need to know about Academies and how they work can be found here in the British Triathlon Academy Handbook.
All athletes should consult the Handbook to find out how selections are made in their Home Nation and Scottish and English athletes, for whom swim/run points are a relevant part of the selection process, can use the calculator below as a guide to work out their points score.
Please use your short course swim (25m pool) and track run times below.
