Celtic Tri Club was formed in October 2005 and is based in the Neath Port Talbot and Swansea area, although its members span over many counties as far away as Pembrokeshire in West Wales to Cardiff in the East. It was formed by a number of like minded triathletes in the area who wished to share experiences, knowledge (over a couple of beers of course!!) and to create a social ‘belonging’ to a sport that is individual and sometimes isolated. Since its formation, its membership continues to grow dramatically with a number in excess of 120 members.
The club boasts many Welsh and Great Britain triathletes who have competed across all age groups and distances from Sprint to Ironman events. However, the aim is to provide a welcome to all persons irrespective of ability or experience and to give support, advice and encouragement for everyone to reach their goals. To achieve this Celtic Tri Club has invested in providing Qualified British Triathlon coaches to administer all training sessions put on by the club, this covers all three disciplines of swimming, cycling, running and operates a junior section. Within the club there are numerous members who are qualified in other areas such as Sports Therapy, Sports science, Physiolotherapy, Personal training, Sports Massage to name but a few.
To further raise our standards in providing a high quality of instruction and service to its members the club has achieved the STAR accrediataion and Un,Dau,Tri junior accreditation. These are the WelshTriathlon governing bodies ‘marks’ of excellence. The Club was elected Welsh Triathlon ‘Club of The Year’ in 2008.
If anyone is interested in joining one of Great Britain’s leading triathlon clubs or wishes further information, please feel free to contact us.
