Galway Triathlon Club will host its annual New To Tri Evening
Commercial Boat Club, Woodquay
Tuesday, February 3rd from 7:30pm – 9pm.
The event is designed for those considering taking up triathlon, as well as anyone interested in swimming, cycling, or running who would like to build new skills, meet new people, or train as part of a group.
With nearly 200 adult members, Galway Triathlon Club is active across all three sports with weekly training sessions held across the city. From coached pool sessions and fully supported sea swims, to group bike spins, indoor cycling, strength and conditioning, and both long-run and track sessions, the club offers training opportunities for all levels — from complete beginners to experienced athletes.
Whether you’re already an avid swimmer, cyclist, or runner — or haven’t sat on a bike or dipped a toe in the sea since childhood; Galway Tri Club’s friendly, social environment helps new members achieve their first triathlon goal with confidence and support.
Speaking ahead of the event, Claire Heskin, the Club’s 2026 Beginners Officer, said:
“The New To Tri evening was where it all began for me, and for a lot of club members. It’s a chance to meet people who were once in the exact same position; curious, a little nervous, and wondering if they could actually do it. But we’ve had people who couldn’t swim a length become confident triathletes and complete their first races within a season. If you’ve ever thought about giving it a go, this is the perfect place to start.”
The New To Tri event is free to attend and open to anyone interested in joining the club or learning more about the sport. The evening will include a general introduction to triathlon, training tips, demonstrations, and an opportunity to speak with club members and coaches.
