ABOUT US

Tampa Bay Tri Sports (TBTS) is a family oriented, recreational triathlon club located in the greater Tampa Bay area of Florida. Our mission: “Tampa Bay Tri-Sports is a USAT affiliated adult and youth triathlon club dedicated to the educational, coaching, and training pursuit of the sport of triathlon. TBTS also aims to connect general physical fitness, a healthy lifestyle and the sport of triathlon for youth and adult athletes.”

TBTS was founded in November of 2007 by 3 families of recreational triathletes looking to provide a family oriented training program. The families wanted to promote a healthy lifestyle through the participation in the sport of triathlon.

The team is composed of two groups: The TBTS Youth Development team located in St Petersburg.  The focus of this team is introduce less experienced athletes into the sport of triathlon as well as developing our younger triathletes into experienced and competitive triathletes.  This team is coached by Coach Karen Quilty - USA Triathlon, USA Cycling and Road Runners of America certified coach.  Our second program is the TBTS "A Team" based out of Largo, Florida.  This Team is our competitive program for experienced youth and junior triathletes.  This team is coached by Coach Dave Deschenes, USA Triathlon and USA Cycling certified coach.  

The TBTS Youth Development Team practices on a weekly basis on Tuesdays and Thursdays based out of the North Shore Pool in St Petersburg.  The Youth Development team is open to youth athletes 8 years of age and up and  who must have a geared bike. This program is open to any youth athletes in the great Tampa Bay area and youth members can practice whenever the practices fit into their schedule. The TBTS 'A Team" trains on Wednesday evenings as well as Saturday and Sundays.  The TBTS "A Team" is open to athletes only  with our coaches recommendation.  In addition to their weekly training, they also participate in specific skill focused monthly clinics.  Both team programs operate year round and participate in triathlons, running races and swim meets around the state of Florida.
