Swim
Work on your stroke and fitness in the pool. In the warmer months, our coach-led open-water sessions bring the group together in the loch, with everyone looking out for one another.

Swim, bike, run.
Mix as required.
Join the disciplines that suit your goals. Nobody is taking attendance, and you do not have to train for a triathlon to train with us.

The weekly rhythm
A plan, with room for real life.
Our programme has a solid weekly backbone, with pool swimming and run sessions carrying through the year. Winter adds Zwift, circuits and yoga; from May, open-water swimming and outdoor rides take a bigger share of the fun.

Pool swimming, interval and track running, Zwift rides, circuits, yoga and occasional long-course swimming.
Summer mode
Pool and run sessions continue, joined by open-water swimming and more outdoor cycling.
Helensburgh
We also swim at Helensburgh when the pool is available. It is currently closed, but we hope to add those sessions back when it reopens.
Check before you set off
Coaches, venues and session types can change. Outdoor and open-water plans also depend on conditions, so details are confirmed with members beforehand.
A typical week
How the week usually looks.
This is the usual pattern, not a promise that every Tuesday will behave itself. Exact sessions are confirmed with members, so newcomers should contact us before attending.
Open water in summer
The warmer months often begin with a coach-led club swim in the loch. We swim as a group, keep an eye on one another and confirm the venue and conditions with members beforehand.
Intervals and a Vale swim
Interval running forms part of the evening programme, followed by our regular pool session at the Vale from 7pm to 8pm.
Track and a Vale swim
Selected weeks include a track session, and our regular pool swim at the Vale runs from 8pm to 9pm.
Bike night
Winter usually means Zwift. In summer the bikes head outside for social rides, hills, short intervals or time-trial work, with an occasional DAAC track session.
Loch early, yoga later
Summer training can include an early open-water swim, while an evening online yoga session keeps some useful mobility in the week.
Longer sessions
Weekend group rides are arranged with the time and route confirmed nearer the day. Occasional long-course swims are also included.
Run, then swim at the Meadow
Sunday always starts with interval running from 8am to 9am, followed by a pool swim from 9am to 10am. Both sessions are at the Meadow.
New members: please contact the membership team before attending so we can point you to the right session and confirm any kit, access or safety requirements.
