The Aus3 Program offers schools a dynamic and flexible way to engage students in physical activity by focusing on three core elements: swim, bike, and run.
The program is perfect for schools looking to offer a well-rounded, fun, and engaging physical activity curriculum. It encourages students to explore their interests in swim, bike, and run while promoting teamwork, fitness, and personal growth.
