Swansea Vale Triathlon Club

Club of the Year 2021

This award is to recognise clubs that are friendly, welcoming, and fun. We want to know what makes the club outstanding, how it supports their members, and how it has developed volunteers to support them in their role.

 

Winner – Swansea Vale Triathlon club

It is with great pleasure to announce Swansea Vale Triathlon club as our club of the year for 2022. From a club that started in 2020 they have grown from strength to strength and have supported their members throughout the pandemic to ensure they can still take part in triathlon in a friendly environment, your hard work in doing so has gone a long way and is greatly appreciated by all of your members who have described the club as fun friendly and inclusive.  Not only have they supported their current members but they have welcomed those who are new to the sport and supported their participation in triathlon and multi-sport activity. Congratulations Swansea Vale and We look forward to seeing all of our triathlon clubs (and their club kit colours) out and about at events this year.  Steph Makuvise, Participation Officer Welsh Triathlon.
