“I’ve been a member for coming up to two years now. Encouraged to join when starting my triathlon journey by a couple of members of CT that also trained at my local gym. What a great decision it was to attend a free swim to get a feel of the club and what’s on offer. It’s like a family, all helpful, all supportive with the same passion. Would recommend to anyone!“
