Introduction.
Cardiff Triathletes are affiliated to British
Triathlon, Welsh Triathlon and the Road Time Trials Council for cycling time trials.
The official 'Club Night' is currently held at Fairwater Leisure Centre (Ely) each Tuesday evening after a swim session. The
session is run by a professional swim coach, and all abilities are catered
for. Club members meet in the Leisure Centre bar following the swim session.
Membership.
The Club has three categories of membership to cater for individual needs:
- Basic - membership subscription £25.00 - swim sessions @ 4.00
per session.
- Full - (one swim session per week) £180.00 per annum - in advance
or by monthly Standing Order (£15.00) - additional swim sessions @ £4.00
per session.
- Full - (three swim sessions per week) £240.00 per annum - in advance
or by monthly Standing Order (£20.00).
Concession subscription fees are available.
BT/WT Membership.
If you wish to race in the UK you are strongly advised to join British
Triathlon or Welsh Triathlon.
Both carry race insurance, and the BTA membership includes a newsletter and
a race diary. If you wish to race abroad or represent GB you must take BTA
membership but if you just intend to race in Wales we recommend that you support
your National Association. Membership application forms are available from
the club secretary.
Social.
We aim for at least three major 'socials' each year. A skittles/beer evening
early in the year, an adventurous weekend sometime mid-season and a Christmas
party at the year's end. If you are the organising type please feel free to
come forward with your ideas, particularly if they provide the opportunity
for increasing Club funds.
Shops/Equipment.
For general cycling gear, repairs, wheels, custom
builds etc. We suggest you visit 'Cyclopaedia' on
Crwys Road.
For outdoor gear of a general nature we recommend you
visit 'Up and Under' on Cowbridge Road. Club
triathlon, cycling and running gear and race wear can
be ordered through the Club.
Finally.
New members are always welcome, particularly novices to the sport of triathlon.
Whether you want to race or just train with us for general fitness why not
pop along to our regular Club Night and give it a go? Turn up to the Tuesday night session at the Fairwater Leisure Centre at 8pm and make yourself known at the pool side, or pop up to the bar at 9pm.
