So whether you are already an avid swimmer, cyclist or runner or maybe haven’t dipped your toe in the sea or been on a bike since your early years, Galway Tri Club’s fun and very social activities will have you signing up to, and conquering your first triathlon in no time!
Claire Heskin, the 2025 Club Beginners Officer reflecting on her decision to take up triathlon said “When I attended the New to Tri event last year, I was a complete beginner and honestly nervous about what to expect. But meeting the club members and other beginners completely changed that, I felt so welcomed and supported. That night gave me the confidence to show up to my first training session, and many of the people I met at the event were right there with me at the starting line for our first race. If you’re even a little curious about triathlon, I’d really encourage you to come along. You’ll have the chance to chat with me and other members, ask questions, and it will hopefully be your first step towards becoming a triathlete! “
The New To Tri event is open to all who are interested in joining the club and finding out more about taking up triathlon. Admission to the event is free and will include a general triathlon information session for the new triathlete, training tips, demonstrations and an opportunity to meet and chat with many members of Galway Triathlon Club.
