Hello and welcome.  Tridents Triathlon Club is based in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Australia.  The club caters for age-group and elite triathletes seeking their personal best in their triathlon performances.

Tridents can boast being the home of an Olympian, Age-Group World Champions, and many podium finishers.  Along with professional triathletes we have many high-performing age-groupers, including many serial Ironman competitors!

Tridents members enjoy access to a wealth of information, advice, camaraderie and experience through fellow club members.  The Club provides a members-only website to enable contact and information sharing with fellow members.  The Club runs sessions and testing for members such as bike skills, nutrition lectures and fluid testing to name a few.  Tridents enlist the services of Coach Ben Gathercole who offers a number of different squad training and fee options to suit individual needs. 

The information below will further explain what you need to know about our Club, and we would be happy to answer any further questions by emailing president@tridents.com.au (Club questions), or coach@tridents.com.au (coaching questions).
