Triathlon
Student Club
Triathlon is an inclusive and welcoming club, providing high-quality training for complete beginners up to elite triathletes. As a member of the club you can expect a wide range of training sessions, from spin sessions and transition practice to open water swimming. As a club we attend lots of different events throughout the year, so if you’re training for your first parkrun or half ironman, we can help get you there.
Aside from training and competitions we also organise various social events throughout the year, we host our annual aquathlon and post aquathlon club night, quiz nights, sober socials, pub rides, and of course, sports nights.
Can’t wait to see you at training.
Performance Squad
For those intent on dedicating large amounts of energy to their sporting abilities, there is an opportunity to apply for the performance squad at the start of each term. The squad gives the team’s top athletes access to more tailored coaching advice, as well as a squad-only weekly strength and conditioning session.

Inclusion, Accessibility & Disability Practices
In October, we organized a mini-aquathlon specifically for new club members and those who had never participated in a race before. The shorter distance made it accessible and encouraged more people to join in. Additionally, we invested in club bikes this year, which opened up our sessions, including group bike rides, to a wider range of participants. We understand that purchasing a bike can be a significant expense that may deter potential athletes from engaging in the sport. Furthermore, we offer tri-suits for members to borrow for BUCS and other competitions to make racing more affordable for everyone.
We train at Sport & Fitness, ensuring all our training facilities are wheelchair accessible. In addition to regular spin bikes, we also have a hand cycle available for use during our spin sessions.
