ABOUT BRIGHTON TRI CLUB

Formed in 2013, Brighton Tri Club is a 'TriMark BRONZE' accredited triathlon club based in Brighton & Hove. In 2015, we were voted the Triathlon England Club of the Year, which we are very proud of as a young club. Today, the club has over 200 members of all ages, with over 50% of the adults joining our club as novices in the sport.

In 2023 we celebrated our 10 year Anniversary.

We have 8 weekly coached club training sessions across all disciplines plus additional member led swims, rides and runs.

Members are kept up-to-date with our weekly Newsletter and active Club WhatsApp groups for each of Swim, Bike, Run and Social.

Philosophy

"Ask not what the club can do for you. Ask what you can do for the club."

We may be a young club, but we have a wealth of experience on our committee and some hard-working coaches to look after you and help you improve.  All our club coaches and committee members are volunteers who give up their time to create an atmosphere and environment that allows members to train well and have fun.

Volunteering is an essential philosophy to us as a club. We strongly believe that if we can attract members with a similar philosophy, the club will continue to grow and expand, allowing us all to give something back to Triathlon and continue the phenomenal growth that our sport is seeing.

We strongly encourage club members to read the Members Code of Conduct and Club Rules. 

 

Organisation

A motivated, enthusiastic and robust club committee is required to operate a successful club. To maintain a focused and manageable team, we have committee roles and responsibilities belonging to each role. We believe that these roles will evolve as the club continues to grow. Further sub-groups, e.g. an Events team led by the Events Officer, are formed as necessary.

The club committee aims to meet at least every three months to discuss what's happening at the club and how to continue to improve the club’s offering to members. The quorum required for a business to be agreed upon at Management Committee meetings is four Officers, including the Chair or Vice Chair. Under the Club Constitution, the club committee is eligible for re-election yearly at the Annual General Meeting.

 

Coaches

We are very lucky to have a growing team of dedicated coaches at the Club.  They are all volunteers and give up their time freely to provide well-planned and structured training sessions. To help you identify the coaches, check out their pictures.

All of our club coaches have signed up to the Club Coaches Code of Conduct.

COACHING Development Scheme

We are always looking for new coaches and financially assist dedicated club members who want to coach or continue to develop their coaching skills. Please read about our Coaching Development Scheme for more details.
