Ready to join?

Joining a triathlon club should never be difficult or daunting and so we keep our membership options simple. We offer a full senior and discounted student/U20 membership which includes all of our senior training sessions, a large junior membership base and an associate membership for those who can no longer train with us but want to stay connected, and who can race as a Thames Turbo athlete.

Our memberships are excellent value for money, especially since it includes a free weekend swim at Hampton Pool or Shepperton Lake.

Things you need to know

Minimum trial requirements

If you are taking advantage of our two-week trial period you will need to be able to swim at least 100m front crawl (for juniors the minimum requirement is based on age group distances). This is not a speed test. Juniors (8-17yo) must attend a trial before joining so we can assess swimming ability.

For our Sunday morning road cycling sessions you should be confident in cycling on a road for a distance of at least 20km at 24km per hour.

Mandatory marshalling

We’re a hands-on club as this allows us to run great events and to minimise membership fees. As such we ask that every member (parent of a junior member) volunteer a few hours to help to marshal at least one of our events each year.

It’s dead easy and good fun, of course there is a bacon sandwich and cup of tea available for your hard work!

Equipment

To participate in a triathlon and our sessions you will require a bike and helmet, a pair of running shoes, swimwear and goggles.

The club has a small number of bikes available for a short term loan to help to get juniors started. Please ask about them during your two week trial.

Booking sessions

You will need to book each training session in advance on Spond. This is so we can manage the workload of our excellent coaches but also for insurance reasons.

If you can’t make a session you have booked please cancel your booking at least one hour before as this will free up your space for someone else.

*Paid-for weekend swim at Hampton Pool or Shepperton Lake is limited to one per week and the redeemable venue will change depending on the time of year.
