Sun City: Tri-ing for 15 years!
Sun City Tri is one of the North East's leading Triathlon Clubs, catering for all levels from absolute beginners to World Championship medal winners. The club was started in 1993, so 2008 sees us celebrating 15 years of tri in Sunderland at the same time as we move into the newest 50m pool in Britain! We have members who have competed for almost 20yrs, several IRONMAN finishers and lots of members who just enjoy getting fitter. Whatever you want from Triathlon we reckon we have the knowledge and skills to make Triathlon a great experience for you (and we have the "STAR mark" to prove it), plus we're one of the most welcoming clubs around.
LATEST NEWS
- WASHINGTON AQUATHLON RESULTS: The results from the recent Aquathlon are now available to download on the race webpage.
- INTERIM SWIMMING FEES, MAY ONWARDS: you can continue to swim on a "pay as you go" basis in the masters/triathletes squad. Just pay your £3 to a comittee member at the session. Alternatively, if you can make use of the full package you can pay the £25 monthly fee for access to all the sessions, payable to COSASC by standing order. If you want to do this, the relevant forms are available by clicking here. Following on from the EGM we're in new negotiations about the swimming fees and we'll let you know when things are sorted out .

There's a run session on Tuesdays at 7pm meeting at the Seaburn Centre, the main club swimming session on Wednesdays at the Aquatic centre at 7pm and a time trial on Thursday evenings, either based at Follingsby lane or at the Great Lumley/Three Horse Shoes (pub) loop in association with a local cycling club. There should be a club coach present at all these sessions to offer advice and welcome prospective new members. Feel free to use the soapbox feature to arrange sessions with other members too.
