The event is sanctioned by Triathlon South Africa. <\/p>\n<p>In partnership with Western Province Triathlon, 11global will also present swimming clinics for 150 learners on behalf of the City. The clinics will be conducted by international triathletes at the Atlantis Swimming Pool and the Bonteheuwel Swimming Pool. Some of the learners will participate in the triathlon as part of 11global\u2019s development programme. <\/p>\n<p>The clinics will be devoted to learners currently participating in the City\u2019s swimming programmes. It is hoped that the clinics will further enhance training and progress for new swimmers. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese programmes contribute not only towards youth development, but also to the development of communities and the fostering of social cohesion. The focus of these programmes is to create opportunities for the youth, encourage a healthy lifestyle and to offer alternative forms of entertainment in order to discourage anti-social behaviour. This shows our commitment to being a Safe City and a Caring City,\u201d said the City\u2019s Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services, Councillor Tandeka Gqada. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Details of the swimming clinics: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Date: Friday 17 February <br \/>Time: 14:00 \u2013 17:00 <br \/>Venue: Atlantis Swimming Pool, c\/o Grosvenor and Rygersdal Avenue, Atlantis <\/p>\n<p>Date: Saturday 18 February <br \/>Time: 14:00 \u2013 17:00 <br \/>Venue: Bonteheuwel Swimming Pool, Jakkalsvlei Road, Bonteheuwel <\/p>\n<p>Details of the Triathlon: <\/p>\n<p>Date: Sunday 19 February <br \/>Time: 07:00 \u2013 14:00 <br \/>Venue: Big Bay Beach, Bloubergstrand <\/p>\n<p>For more information about the City\u2019s Sport  Recreation services, click here. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The City of Cape Town\u2019s Sport, Recreation and Amenities Department is partnering with 11global to host the fourth annual ELEVEN Cape Town Triathlon at Big Bay Beach on Sunday, 19 February 2012.
