Powering Triathlon Programs in Schools & Universities

The Momentum Triathlon Academy currently powers four school / university triathlon programs in Melbourne, Australia.

Our aims within each institution are to:

  • Grow interest and participation in swimming, biking and running.

  • Create fun and accessible environments that improve fitness and enable skill development.

  • Use swimming, biking and running as a way of giving young people momentum in their lives.

  • Provide a pathway for young people to take their triathlon journey further if they wish to.

Our School & University Programs

    Albert Park College

    Beginning in 2019, APC was our original school program. It was co-funded with Triathlon Victoria, with the aim of introducing more school children to triathlon. Several of these children have gone on to win races and represent their state or national team. In 2022, we established a Triathlon Academy at the school for the first time, for those looking to grow, learn and perform in their triathlon.

    Star of the Sea Girls College

    Our second school based program began in 2020 and provided coaching support for the school in the lead up to SCSA Competition. Now a more comprehensive coaching program is in place, focusing on Girls Sport Victoria competitions and external events all year round. Our main aims are to increase participation and retention in triathlon, whilst providing a welcoming squad environment for those who want to train consistently each week and focus more on performance.

    Melbourne University

    Momentum Triathlon Academy began collaborating with Melbourne University Triathlon Club in 2024, providing coaching for athletes of all levels, whilst helping to grow the numbers of Recreational and Development triathletes at the University. This partnership goes beyond triathlon, offering project work and work experience opportunities for students as well as the opportunity to benefit from wider MTA projects and partnerships.

    St. Mary's College Triathlon Academy

    Momentum Triathlon Academy began working with St. Mary’s College in 2025, kicking off a Triathlon Academy in Term 4. MTA Coaches helped students improve their swimming, riding and running and overall strength and conditioning. This Academy structure will continue in Term 1 2026 with a more race specific focus.
