Our Club
Our Performance Squad is designed for athletes competing, or aspiring to compete, at a national and international level. The squad supports those with the potential to contribute valuable BUCS points and represent the club at the highest standard of university competition.
Â
Selection is based on a combination of current performance level, trial results, progression potential, and commitment to training and club culture. Athletes in the Performance Squad receive personalised support from the Head Coach, including tailored training plans, one-to-one coaching calls, physiological testing, and dedicated race preparation and review sessions. Performance Squad members are expected to attend BUCS races and play a key role in the club’s competitive success.
Our Development Squad is aimed at athletes who demonstrate a strong commitment to improving their triathlon performance. Whether you’re progressing quickly through the sport or looking to take the next step competitively, this squad provides the support and structure needed to develop your potential.
Â
Selection considers both current performance standards and an athlete’s willingness to learn, train consistently, and contribute positively to the club environment. Development Squad athletes benefit from physiological testing, squad meetings around key BUCS events, and access to one-to-one coaching support. Members are expected to attend BUCS races as part of their development and contribution to the team’s competitive programme.

Inclusion, Accessibility & Disability Practices
Â
In October, we organized a mini-aquathlon specifically for new club members and those who had never participated in a race before. The shorter distance made it accessible and encouraged more people to join in. Additionally, we invested in club bikes this year, which opened up our sessions, including group bike rides, to a wider range of participants. We understand that purchasing a bike can be a significant expense that may deter potential athletes from engaging in the sport. Furthermore, we offer tri-suits for members to borrow for BUCS and other competitions to make racing more affordable for everyone.
Â
We train at Sport & Fitness, ensuring all our training facilities are wheelchair accessible. In addition to regular spin bikes, we also have a hand cycle available for use during our spin sessions.
