Bytown Storm Program Information
Bytown Storm strives to develop a passion for an active healthy lifestyle through systematic and progressive programs that encourage fair play, equality, good sportsmanship and the pursuit of personal excellence through sport.
Our programs are grounded on the ethos that during the early stages of development, we stress developing the skill sets that will determine great performance as the athlete matures. As an athlete transitions further through the development pathway performance becomes an important part of the sport. This concept is introduced and supported as the athlete develops objectives and goals in competitions where performance is imperative. Our Provincial, National, and International level athletes have developed a large “vocabulary” of skill sets that enable them to compete in the most challenging of environments. Triathlon is not conducted in a controlled environment and therefore athletes need to develop an array of skills in order to adapt to any course or environment. We support and encourage our athletes to be patient and persistent and pursue mastering the core skill sets as the pathway to achieving their personal objectives.
Regardless of an athlete’s objective our coaches and community support each individual as they develop and decide which pathway is best for them. As coaches we are just as proud of our members who represent Canada on the International ITU circuit as we are of those who still compete in local races and live an active lifestyle.
The Storm Development Program works much like the competitive stream in other sports; athletes who show an interest in developing the fitness and skills that will allow them to progress to Provincial and National competition.
The Development Program is for athletes who are interested in training more consistently and enjoy the challenges and variety of training in multiple sports. Athletes are supplied with a Training Peaks account (on line training log). The Development program encourages athletes to set training goals, discover training at different levels of effort, and helps build time management skills.
Athletes can attend up to 6 sessions per week based on their availability and objectives. Training programs in this program become personalized and is a great choice for those athletes who are crossing over from another sport or those looking to expand their skill sets in swimming, cycling and running. This program is also a great entry way into TRIATHLON ONTARIO’S Provincial Development program.

Our age program is centred around improving technical performance in the three disciplines with primary focus on swimming.
For 2021/2022 we are offering a 90min pool session at the Nepean Sportsplex with hands-on coaching to improve swimming. These sessions are will work through the elements of form and technique in the pool and provide valuable feedback, tips, and corrections you can take back to your own sessions during the week.
We will also offer Zwift sessions on the bike designed to aid in the improvement of pedalling efficiency, general aerobic development, and provide a platform to discuss cycling-specific training protocols.
When the weather permits, we will hold a track workout once per week that focusses on elements of form and technique incorporating intervals and drills to improve overall run form and develop aspects of fitness often overlooked by triathletes.
