FAQs
Check out some of the most common questions we get about the club, joining, abilities and more.
HOW MUCH ARE MEMBERSHIPS?
Our membership is £15.00 per year. We try and keep this low to encourage new members to give it a go and we know you would rather spend your money on new kit so you can look the part.

There is a link on our club website for members who would like to make or enquire about an order.
DO I NEED TO BE A GOOD SWIMMER TO JOIN?
No, all we ask is that you can swim 100metres (4 lengths of the pool) continuously. Speed will come as will stamina and technique. We train mostly swimming Front Crawl as this is the preferred stroke within Triathlon. Be open to trying your best and working with our coaches and you will make great improvements. (We do not provide swimming lessons, so it is important to be honest about your ability and expectations)
WHERE DO YOU TRAIN/MEET?
We Meet each Friday at 6.30 pm at Redcar and Cleveland Community Heart Swimming Pool. Sessions are £4.00 and members only. First session is free to non-members so you can give us a try.
Monday evening, we meet at various location at 6.30 pm (usually Redcar area) and carry out a social club training run. These vary but are led by two of our BTF Trained Activators and are suitable for all levels.
DO I NEED TO BE A FAST RUNNER OR CYCLIST?
No, again enthusiasm and commitment are more important to us. On our led sessions we will try and accommodate everyone. We have people training for their first Triathlon to seasoned triathletes doing long distance Triathlons.
DO I HAVE TO JOIN BRITISH TRIATHLON?
