Mentoring
The club encourages new athletes to get involved in triathlon. It runs a mentoring program that will provide an experienced triathlete from the club to help guide you into triathlon and will be with you step by step to assist you in getting involved in this amazing sport. They will be there to assist in the purchase of the equipment needed in the sport, advise on training and be there on race days to help make your experience a rich and rewarding one.

Race, Training and Coaching

River Swim Times
Much of the club’s open water training takes place in the Minnamurra River. Being tidal the river is not always the best place to swim. The club publishes a swim time chart that allows swimmers to time their swim start so that the journey up and back is always slightly tidal assisted. Click in here to see the times.
Uniform and Buy/Sell/Swap
The club places uniform orders with our supplier usually once a year and runs a buy/sell/swap site to allow us to recycle unwanted gear. Click in here to learn more.

Our Commitment to Inclusion
We believe very firmly that our sport belongs to all. We have members who act as guides for sight impaired athletes and are in the process of forming a local Achilies Chapter to help get disabled athletes out and about, actively participating in community events. We welcome all and if you have the desire to be involved, we will help to make it happen.
Our latest recruit is the quite remarkable Lily Piccolo. Click in here to share a little of her story.
