Before you ask

The usual questions.

Kit, confidence, tasters and what happens next. If your question is not here, send it our way.

01Do I need to be a triathlete?

Not at all. Some members race all three disciplines; others join mainly to swim, ride or run.

02Can I join for only one discipline?

Yes. Start with what interests you. Your membership still gives you access to the full club programme.

03Do I need a racing bike?

No. You need a safe, serviceable bike and a properly fitting helmet. We will confirm the type of riding before your session.

04How strong a swimmer must I be?

There is no minimum swimming standard for joining. Tell us your experience and we will suggest the pool session with the most appropriate support.

05Can I attend open-water sessions?

Possibly. The coaches will consider your confidence, ability and the conditions before recommending a session.

06Are sessions included in the monthly fee?

Yes. Club sessions are included, with no additional session charges.

07What happens after my third taster?

You will need to become a member before continuing to train with the club.

08How quickly will someone reply?

The membership secretary normally replies within a few days. The club is volunteer-run, so occasionally real life gets first dibs.

Still wondering?

Ask a human.

Email the membership secretary or contact the club through Facebook.
