6-Week Beginners Course
Join Australia’s #1 Triathlon Beginner Course!
Ready to take on a new challenge? Our 6-week Triathlon Beginner Course will have you crossing the finish line of your first triathlon with confidence!
Triathlon is one of the fastest-growing sports in Australia, offering something for everyone. We understand the thought of training and committing to a triathlon can be intimidating. But don’t worry! Here are 10 promises that will make your journey smoother:
10 Promises for Beginner Triathletes:
1. You're not alone! Everyone is just as nervous as you are.
2. You will not be a faceless number in a group but someone we will get to know and help to achieve your goals (whatever they are).
3. No experience? No problem! There’s no minimum ability required. You’ll train alongside others at your level.
4. It is okay to be nervous about swimming in the open water. We promise you'll be safe and well-supported during our open water sessions and race day.
5. It is okay to be nervous about riding your bike. We will help you gain the confidence to ride on the roads.
6. You don’t need to have fancy equipment. You will need some swimming flippers, goggles, swim cap, a road bike, helmet and running shoes.
7. You’ll meet some great new friends!
8. You will never be in a situation where you have to keep up with anyone else. So no need to worry about being left behind.
9. We’ll get you race-ready. We will help you complete your first triathlon.
10. Lycra is optional!
