Hello fellow Windies,

It's a fabulous opportunity to give back to the club and get to know more people than you might do just by training and racing.  

Here is a quick low…

WINDRUSH OPEN WATER SWIMMING GUIDELINES

Some open water swimming venues are starting to reopen which is great for those of us who have been missing being in the water! Open water can include rivers, lakes, natural pools and the sea. There is a big difference between swimming in a pool and swimming outdoors, which comes with its own set of dangers. As a British Triathlon affiliated club, we encourage following their…
