Sessions in November...
... and new session coming this Saturday 1st November! We have been kindly given permission to use some spin bikes from Freeman's quay on pool side, so will be trialling an aqua bike training session from 4pm-5pm. This will involve alternating blocks of swimming and spinning, with some open water style twists on the swim sections.
The normal swim session will still be running, but if you are interested in trying this, please bring some clean trainers and an extra towel :D
We also have the continuation of turbo happiness, and a second attempt to kick off the winter duathlon series on Sunday 16th November. It would be great to see people at the duathlon; it is one of the best training opportunities offered by the club and is made all the better with a big group to share the fun.
Finally, don't forget that registration is open for training camp in May 2026, on Sportmember, closing on Sunday 9th November (after which the allocation will be announced).
Here is the full schedule for November.
