Arena is proud to announce our involvement with the Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon Series as official swimwear and swim accessories partner.

The Series has included events in Australia for 14 years and is the largest kids triathlon series in the world. The Series will run from January through to May in major capital cities and regional areas. It is open to 7–15 year olds. Over 15,000 kids are expected to participate across Australia throughout the Series.

Most importantly, the events promote an active, healthy lifestyle for all Australian kids. Research conducted with parents/carers demonstrates that kids who participate get a big boost to their self-esteem (according to over 80% of respondents).
