Croeso 👋 Newly affiliated club: Sharks Masters Swimming Club 🦈

Improve your swim with Sharks Masters Swimming Club 🏊

Are you a triathlete looking to swim faster, improve your technique and become more efficient in the water?

It's easy for triathletes to focus heavily on the bike and run, while treating the swim as something they simply need to get through. But improving your swim can make a huge difference, better technique and efficiency mean less energy used in the water and more left for the bike and run.

Sharks Masters Swimming Club is a friendly, welcoming club for swimmers aged 18+, offering up to three coached pool sessions a week, plus regular open-water training sessions to help you prepare for the demands of triathlon.

Coach, Keith Morgan, has over 40 years of coaching experience, from learn-to-swim beginners through to Welsh National swimmers. Keith can help you improve your technique, endurance, speed, breathing and race pacing.

Whether you're preparing for your first triathlon or chasing a personal best, you'll find a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone is encouraged to improve, whatever their starting point.
