Our ‘TRY-ATHLON’ is made up of three events- swimming, scooting, running. Each homebase will participate and will be divided into 3 event teams by the teacher and children. The children will participate in a relay format with a transition runner connecting the events.

1^st event- Swimming: We will begin down at the school pool for the swim.  The first

group will begin their relay by swimming two lengths of the pool- kicking on stomach with a float board or walking as required.

2^nd event- Scooting: The second group will begin their scooter relay on the asphalt area between the blue courts and the field.
