Swimming: triathlon

Triathlon
Triathlon is a fast-growing sport in the Netherlands in which swimming, running and cycling is combined into a single challenge. Among students in Utrecht, the demand for this sports activity is increasing too. That’s why we now offer swimming practices focused on increasing your front crawl technique and other specific triathlon swimming skills. The initiative to these practices was the result of a collaboration between Sportcentrum Olympos, USZ&WF Het Zinkstuk, the LABC Triathlon Foundation and the Exploitatie Zwembad Krommerijn Foundation.
 
Participation
You can join the practices at any time and discontinue your registration quarterly. To participate in this training you need an OlymPas and you pay a small monthly expense allowance of € 10 to the LABC Triathlon foundation. In addition, a beginner level front crawl is required; you can already swim a few laps of front crawl in a row at your own speed.

Do you not have an OlymPas pass or has it expired?
It is currently not possible to purchase a ‘separate’ OlymPas online. If you wish to register for these practices go to the Service Desk to purchase your OlymPas. You can choose to purchase the OlymPas for three months or a year.
