Welcome to the Swansea University Triathlon and Cycling Club!
Whether you are a complete beginner or a competative athlete, our Triathlon and Cycling Club is the place for you! We train across all three disciplines - swimming, cycling and running, with sessions tailored for every level of fitness. We represent the University at races across the UK including BUCS, local races and more. If you are looking to complete your first triathlon, work towards a new PB or simply just train in the company of others, 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 around the beautiful Gower or the valleys with Brecon Beacons on our door step, as well as sunset runs along the beach to The Mumbles or into Clyne Valley. Don’t worry if you don’t want to do all three sports, the amount that 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 womens only sessions to encourage the active participation of women within triathlon and cycling.

Croeso i Glwb Triathlon a Beicio Prifysgol Abertawe!
P'un a ydych chi'n ddechreuwr llwyr neu'n athletwr profiadol, ein Clwb Triathlon a Beicio yw'r lle i chi! Rydym yn hyfforddi ar draws y tair disgyblaeth - nofio, beicio a rhedeg, gyda sesiynau wedi'u teilwra ar gyfer pob lefel o ffitrwydd. Rydym yn cynrychioli'r Brifysgol mewn rasys ledled y DU gan gynnwys BUCS, rasys lleol a mwy.

Fel aelod o'n clwb gallwch gymryd rhan mewn amrywiaeth o weithgareddau cyffrous gan gynnwys; nofio yn y môr ac mewn dŵr agored, reidiau beicio wedi'u hamgylchynu gan harddwch naturiol Gŵyr a Bannau Brycheiniog, yn ogystal â rhediadau machlud haul ar hyd y traeth i'r Mwmbwls neu i Ddyffryn Clun. Peidiwch â phoeni os nad ydych chi eisiau gwneud y tair camp, mae faint rydych chi'n ei hyfforddi yn llwyr i fyny i chi! Rydym yn hyfforddi ym Mhwll Cenedlaethol Cymru ddwywaith yr wythnos gan gynnig lonydd ar gyfer gwahanol alluoedd, rhediadau cymdeithasol a reidiau hefyd wedi'u rhannu'n grwpiau gallu. Rydym hefyd yn cynnal sesiynau i fenywod yn unig i annog cyfranogiad gweithredol menywod mewn triathlon a beicio.

Ymuno â'r clwb:
Ar ôl i chi fod mewn cysylltiad, y cam nesaf yw prynu eich aelodaeth, bydd angen i chi fod wedi prynu aelodaeth Chwaraeon Abertawe eisoes. Gorfodol i bob clwb chwaraeon at ddibenion yswiriant. Mae eich ffioedd aelodaeth yn talu cost rhedeg y clwb ac yn caniatáu inni roi cymhorthdal i gost llogi pwll, sesiynau hyfforddi ar drac Caerfyrddin, llety rasio a chludiant ymhlith pethau eraill. Ar ôl i chi dalu aelodaeth, byddwch yn cael eich ychwanegu at y sgwrs grŵp aelodau taledig lle bydd yr holl wybodaeth sydd ei hangen yn cael ei phostio!
