See what our new athletes have to say..

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!

Caerphilly Triers Triathlon Club has been perfect for that! The coaches are knowledgeable and encouraging, and the other members are all so friendly and motivated. I’ve already learned so much and smashed some personal bests. This club has reignited my passion for triathlons!”
