13.01.2022 Although we are starting to see that tiny glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel, now is the time to for us to show what being a triathlete is really about... - and thats supporting our community when they need it most. Over the past few months weve witnessed this community band together to overcome some tough and unpredictable challenges. We caught up with a handful of coaches, athletes, club members and race directors from across Australia to reflect on the road weve travelled, and look ahead to the future (what an awesome bunch of people!!). Theres still a long road ahead of us and our sport still faces challenges to getting back on its feet , but we are here to support you and we know you have certainly been here to support us! Our annual memberships are soon to be released, so if this is something you are interested in or able to do, stay tuned next week as we will be dropping more info soon! : Freeway Studios | Triathlon Australia

08.01.2022 Please see below formal information from Triathlon NSW around current COVID-19 changes. As a club we are working towards some organised group training once facilities allow it, which well keep everyone informed about. Stay tuned for some exciting announcements to come for next season, due to kick off in September! The Premier of NSW recently announced that restrictions to the two person gathering rule will be eased, effective Friday 15 May. Based on... expert health advice, the two person limit on outdoor gatherings will be adjusted, with the limit rising to 10 people.

Clubs/coaches who wish to recommence group training sessions MUST do so in line with all Government Guidelines, including 1.5m social distancing. TNSW has recently suggested the following to clubs regarding group training to ensure the safety of all members; If members are unwell they should not attend training sessions At no time should the training session allow for more than 10 people (coach included) All members must be self-sufficient (water bottle, towel etc) Allow for extra space within the training area to ensure social distancing can be adhered too Group rides of up to 10 may occur but MUST adhere to the 1.5m social distancing rule.
