Kids Racing for Kids Triathlon

ZSC is the benefitting organization for a local youth triathlon this summer. The Kids Racing for Kids Triathlon Series (for ages 7-14) will have an event in Zionsville on July 4th. This is a great opportunity for our younger swimmers to try out a new sport and for our older swimmers and parents to give back. For more information visit the Kids Racing for Kids website. To volunteer, e-mail Bryan Boggs.

Club Recognition

The Club has achieved its level one recognition from USA swimming. This is a program established by USA swimming to measure swim club’s administrative organization and structure. This achievement is a great reflection of our coaching staff and of all the work and time volunteered to the team by our board of directors.

Volunteer Opportunity

Zionsville Kids Triathlon July 4th- This Triathlon is going to be offered to 14 and under kids and will take place the morning of July 4th. Part of the proceeds from this event will go to Zionsville Swim Club. Last year the triathlon drew over 50 participants and we hope to draw over 100 this year. Bryan Boggs is organizing the event and needs some help organizing different aspects of the race. We need a volunteer to head up; Promotions, Registration, Set up and Tear down, Swim Course, Run Course, Transition area and Finish. Each volunteer is needed to organize other volunteers the day of the event and work with Bryan on planning and setup before the day of the race. We will also need ~30 volunteers the day of the race to help in each of the above departments. Not 30 each, just 30 total. There is also a Medical director filled by Dr. Lynn Coy and a Bike Course director filled by Dan Gehring, they will need more help in their departments the day of the race. If you are interested in helping please contact Bryan Boggs He would like to know by April-18 if you can head up one of these departments.
