We
 Beginners! No athlete is born a pro. We all start in the same place and the progress we make is largely dictated by how hard we work and how quickly we learn. The Sport Factory prides itself on being beginner-friendly and we are dedicated to helping these athletes grow and develop. Not only are beginners the future of the sport, they are the future of our company.

Featured Athlete- Dylan Rist |
|
Another up and coming athlete to watch for is Dylan Rist. Dylan has been a competitive swimmer for most of his life. He was awarded a swimming scholarship to UNC Wilmington where he was the swim team captain. Upon graduating he found an interest in triathlons and, with his competitive swim background, he has an immediate advantage in the first leg. With only a few seasons under his belt, Dylan has achieved multiple age groups wins and qualified for Long Course Worlds in 2006. He came to The Sport Factory with a desire to take his racing to the next level and have a more accurate and formal training structure designed for him. After reviewing his resume, he was awarded a spot on Team Sport Factory and assigned to Coach Richard Klepacz . Since then they have worked extremely well together and to great success.
