Introduction.
Cardiff Triathletes are affiliated to the British Triathlon Association, the Welsh Triathlon Association and the RTTC for cycling time trials.
The official 'Club Night' is currently held at Fairwater Leisure Centre (Ely) each Thursday evening after a swim session - the session is run by a professional swim coach, and all abilities are catered for. Club members meet in the Leisure Centre bar following the swim session.
Membership.
The Club has three categories of membership to cater for individual needs:
Full membership will include a club polo shirt.

BTA/WTA Membership.
If you wish to race in the UK you are strongly advised to join the British Triathlon Association or the Welsh Triathlon Association.
Both carry race insurance, and the BTA membership includes a newsletter and a race diary. If you wish to race abroad or represent GB you must take BTA membership but if you just intend to race in Wales we recommend that you support your National Association. Membership application forms are available from the club secretary.
Social.
We aim for at least three major 'socials' each year. A skittles/beer evening early in the year, an adventurous weekend sometime mid-season and a Christmas party at the year's end. If you are the organising type please feel free to come forward with your ideas, particularly if they provide the opportunity for increasing Club funds.
Shops/Equipment.
For Swim, Run or Triathlon gear we recommend you visit our sponsor Tri And Bike. For general cycling gear, repairs, wheels, custom builds etc. We suggest you visit 'Cyclopaedia' on Crwys Road. For outdoor gear of a general nature we recommend you visit 'Up and Under' on Cowbridge Road. Club triathlon, cycling and running gear and race wear can be ordered through the Club.
Finally.
New members are always welcome, particularly novices to the sport of triathlon. Whether you want to race or just train with us for general fitness why not pop along to our regular Club Night and give it a go?
