Joining the Club

The best way to find out if you want to join is to come along to the Saturday morning swimming sessions (Winter schedule only), that way you can see if you like the training session before deciding to join. We offer one free 'come and tri' session to newcomers.  After this sessions, if you like it, we will then ask that you join the club (there after pay the session fees).  As a minimum requirement, you should be able to swim at least 25m front crawl before attending our pool swim sessions and at least 400m for the summer open water swimming.

You can also attend the bike and run sessions which are free at weekends, however non-members are classed as guests and if you like it, you will be required to join the club after your first session.  Take a look at the training page of this website.

Saturday morning (winter only Oct-Mar) club training is between 7:30am & 8:30am at Meadowside Leisure Centre, High Street, Burton-upon-Trent, DE14 1TL.

Wednesday night (summer only Apr-Sep) club training is between 6:30pm & 7:30pm at Barton Turns Marina, Barton-under-Needwood, DE13 8DZ.

For more details of training sessions and locations, take a look at the training page of this website.  Or if you prefer, if you would like to chat about the club or the sport of triathlon please contact one of our friendly committee members or send an e-mail.
