Trofeo Athlon: the first race of the Scuola Nuoto

On Sunday 15 November at 15:00, the Trofeo Athlon 2026/27 kicks off: the race circuit of our Scuola Nuoto Bambini. It's when the children show in the water what they learn in class, in front of the people cheering for them in the stands.

Who can take part

The race is open to children registered with ASI who regularly attend the Scuola Nuoto. The minimum level is A3, already achieved. Participation is optional.

Children compete grouped by year of birth, level and sex. The age categories for the 2026/27 season are:

• 2022 – 2021
• 2020 – 2019
• 2018 – 2017 – 2016
• 2015 – 2014 – 2013

Each category may be made up of one or more heats.
