New Member/Introduction!
Hi all!
My name is Fred and I've just signed up for the club. Im 23, and am currently a masters student here in London, and conveniently only live just up the hill from the Lido in Camberwell. Ive signed up for my first sprint triathlon in July, so thought joining the club would be good for some more structured training sessions and people to train with!
I just have a couple of quick questions, firstly, will my membership card be emailed to me or do I need to pick it up from one of the sessions? And secondly, do we pay online for the sessions or pay when we arrive? And am I right in thinking the weeks sessions go up on the Sunday night for the following week?
Apologies for all the questions! Look forward to meeting lots of you over the next few months!

Welcome to the Club Fred!
Just on your questions. If you don't have the card yet you can use the payment email receipt in the meantime for proof of membership. You pay for the sessions when you arrive (details of costs will be in the event which do get posted by end of the day before the week starts. Don't forget to sign up to them as some have fixed capacity such as Swim and spin.
Look forward to meeting you and congrats on signing up to your first (of many triathlons)!

Thanks for the help Nick! Card has arrived now so all set. One more quick question, hoping to maybe come down to the Lido on saturday for a swim, am I right in thinking that probably this time of year a wetsuit is essential? Have only ever been swimming there in the summer, and just about to purchase a triathlon wetsuit this week!

Oh Fred....what a question! The pool is cold, but many don't wear wetsuits because we like to feel the cold, get a huge adrenaline buzz then hot in the sauna. For your first time down either would work, if you don't have one then 100m is a big achievement for your first time down, if you do then you can swim for longer. Either way there is cake and brunch after and many new friends to be made.

Also, at the sessions you pay the coach unless it's track where you pay to get in as well. £5 notes are always appreciated by the coaches :-)
