TeamTriGuru club swims

Tri Guru training at the Active Tameside Triathlon sessions

Please note that in order to participate in the Active Tameside triathlon training sessions you either need to be a member of Active Tameside or you have to pay per session. You don't have to join ActiveTameside to participate in the sessions but they can be booked in advance by Active Tameside members so they may be full when you turn up if you are not a member.

The full Active Tameside timetable for all sessions, not just triathlon training, at all centres is here.

Masters Swim

The Masters Swim sessions are coached and put on by Active Tameside. The sessions have a limited space in the pool so booking is essential (it is less busy in the summer months when people train in open water instead). Although by no means restricted to fast swimmers the sessions do require being able to confidently swim freestyle for most of the session. As a minimum, to be able to participate fully in the sessions, swimmers must be capable of taking 12 minutes or less for a 400m swim without the need to stop. That equates to 3 minutes per 100m or 45 seconds per length, continuously.
