HOW DO I JOIN?
Simply print a membership form and health questionnaire off the web site and bring it to one of the club swimming sessions. Alternatively, you can come along to one of the run or bike sessions, where there's usually a committee member who can take your form. You can download a form by clicking here and a health questionnaire here.
HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO PAY?
The membership year runs from January to January and you have two options:
Option 1. Swimming Membership.
This costs £30 per year which includes £5 annual membership of Boldon Community Association (who we have to join in order to access club swimming sessions).
You then pay either:
£18 per month for access to all the swimming sessions
OR
£2.50 per session (£2.00 for juniors, £3.00 for two hours on Thursdays) for the sessions you can make (we have jobs too!)
Option 2. Non-Swimming Membership
This costs £20 per year. However you will not be able to swim with the club at the Boldon Community centre sessions. You will have to make your own swimming arrangements at another pool of your choice.
WHAT ELSE DO I GET AS A MEMBER?
1. Coaching advice from club coaches. Basic advice to members is free with either swimming or non-swimming membership
2. Fitness Test & Heart Rate Training Zones free and on request
3. Organised Bike & Run sessions (see web site)
4. Option to buy quality club training and racing kit at competitive prices
5. Discount from local bike shops, CycleWorld in Sunderland & Dentons Cycles in Newcastle.

7. Reduced membership fees when you join British Triathlon Federation/Triathlon England, which you can do separately via their website. (Besides reduced entry fees for races you get extra benefits like third party insurance cover and free legal advice in the case of an accident if you are a BTF/TE member)
8. Potential for support towards costs of coaching, safety and other training courses.
