This article discusses current training methods for children that help them develop key skills in swimming, cycling, and running. In the course of the ongoing study of scientific and methodological literature, as well as the analysis of existing practical experience in conducting training sessions, priority areas of training for young athletes in each of the three disciplines included in the sport of triathlon were identified. This material can be used in the future by coaches, teachers, instructors, methodologists, athletes, to increase the effectiveness of the training process, to improve motivation to engage in this sport, as well as to form a sustained interest in sports and nurture the moral, ethical and strong-willed qualities of future champions.
