Joining FAQs
Do I have to join the Club before I come to a training session?
No. If you are thinking about joining the Club then please email coaching@derbytriathlonclub.co.uk to book your place to a session. The first session you attend will be free of charge and you can enjoy a futher two sessions at member's rate. After that you will be encouraged to join the Club.
--------------------
I don't want to join the Club but can I still attend your training sessions?
Unfortunately due to demand we are unable to allow non members to attend our pool swim sessions unless they are thinking of joining the club. Other sessions may be available particularly open water swimming. Please email coaching@derbytriathlonclub.co.uk if you interested in training with us and we will accommodate you if possible.
--------------------
How fit do I have to be join?
There is no minimum level of fitness required. At every session it is up to you how much or how little you do. At some sessions though e.g. Club bike rides or Wednesday night runs there are different groups of people. Please ensure that you join the training group appropriate to your ability.
--------------------
If I can't swim can I still join the Club?
The most common concern that makes people reticent about joining the Club is that they can't swim or believe their swimming is not of an acceptable standard. We all have to start somewhere and our coaches are really good at helping complete novices develop their swimming. Obviously there is a limit to what can be achieved at a Club training session and the amount of 1-2-1 coaching that can take place but the coaches will be able to help you whatever standard you are.
