Welcome to the Swansea University Triathlon Club!
A welcoming and sociable club, we hold regular training sessions across the week that welcome all abilities! Whether you are a first time swimmer, cyclist or runner or an experienced triathlete there’s a space for you within the club. We represent the university at races across the UK including BUCS, local races and even venturing up to Glasgow for Red Bull Neptune steps! Whether you are looking to complete your first triathlon, just train or get a new PB, then this is the club for you!
As a member of our club you can get involved in a variety of exciting activities including; sea and open water swimming, bike rides surrounded by the natural beauty of the Gower and mountains of the Brecon Beacons, as well as sunset runs along the beach to The Mumbles. Don’t worry if you don’t want to do all three sports, the amount you train is completely up to you! We train at the Wales National Pool twice a week offering lanes for different abilities, social runs and rides also split into ability groups. We also run girls only sessions to encourage girls getting into the sport.
If you are interested in joining us at training or joining themed socials, get in touch by dropping us a message on our Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter or send us an email!

Socials
Socials this year will look slightly different to normal but that won't stop us having fun! We'll constantly be trying new ways to run socials whilst keeping all our members safe.
In the past, our sober socials have included laser tag, Limitless Trampoline Park, beach BBQs and pasta parties before races. Our other, themed socials are held on the famous Wind St. The socials are a great way to get to know your fellow triathletes outside of training and are a lot of fun! There’s no pressure to drink but with all the encouragement to join in the fun.
Our Social Sec Nathan is looking forward to some fun events this year!
