Join Us
We welcome new members of all abilities and encourage first timers to get in touch. Each of our members are on their own triathlon journey and it is our task to provide you with the relevant training and support needed to compete and represent Torfaen Triathlon at events across the country and most importantly - have a good time doing it.
We train together throughout the week and weekend with summer and winter training schedules available to all of our members regardless of ability.
- Coached swim sessions include both indoor and open water training.
- Club rides include endurance rides on road and also trail rides.
- We are partnered with Pontypool District Runners with performance sessions taking place in Pontypool alongside our club social runs.
If you are looking to improve your swimming and not take part in triathlon, you can join our swimming club, Torfaen Dolphins, which has sessions for all ages and abilities.

What previous experience do I need?
We pride our club on being as open and inclusive as possible. In order to support our members in the best way possible, we need you to be generally fit and well and have a base level near or above the below. You do not need to have previous experience of triathlon in order to join us.
Swimming: You are able to swim 100m frontcrawl without stopping.
Cycling: You are able to ride a bike – no road cycling experience necessary.
Running: You are able to run for a few minutes. Fairly open ability, as club sessions are tailored to different abilities, so they are inclusive to all abilities.
