booking training sessions
Once you have paid your annual membership fee for Stirling Triathlon Club you have access to all our club training sessions. You must be a member of the club to take part in our training sessions. Found out how to become a member here.
We do offer you one free taster for a swim or run session before you join the club. You MUST contact us either by email or on social media before attending a session so we can make sure we have availability, let the coaches know and arrange for someone to meet you. Please do not attend a taster session until we have acknowledged your message and arranged to meet you.

To book pool swim sessions you must also join the University of Stirling Sports Centre – you can do this on with a monthly inclusive deal, or on a Pay as you Go basis.
