While originally started as an adult training group, the Peterborough Pirates Triathlon Club morphed into a highly successful Youth team under the leadership of Kent Crockower beginning in 2008. We have grown from 6 athletes in our first summer to 80 athletes aged 4-20, many of whom train year-round. We have helped athletes achieve their dreams to compete at all levels, including the Ontario Summer Games, the Canada Summer Games, and the ITU World Championships.
