IT IS SOMETIMES NECESSARY FOR US TO CHANGE TIMES AND/OR VENUES FOR TRAINING SESSIONS - KEEP AN EYE ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA OR SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR UPDATES
BTC organises professionally coached group training sessions all year round to support and help motivate our club members in achieving their goals. Click on the links below to find out more about training sessions.
Like all BTC events, training sessions will be conducted in accordance with prevailing Tri NSW Rules.
Each session costs $6-00. You can either pay via contactless paywave (card or mobile) at the session or you can buy a 20 session training pass here. Junior members train for free.
BTC training sessions are run by our partners Energy Link Performance Coaching and cater for all abilities. If you are considering attending a BTC training session for the first time, ensure that you arrive at least 15 minutes earlier than the start time so the Session Captain can welcome you and introduce you to the coaches.

Track Training
Where: Rawson Park Oval, Cross St, Mosman
When: Thursdays at 6.30pm, from start of September through to end of May.
What: The coached track session runs for 1 hour from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. Please ensure you have warmed up and paid your fee prior to the session start at 6:30pm. Track sessions improve both speed and endurance through interval training work (running at different speeds for different periods of time).
Track sessions are inclusive and suitable for all abilities. We start and finish together on a circular oval (faster people will complete more laps, slower people will complete less laps). Regardless of ability and experience, expect a running session that will challenge you.
Bring: Drink, towel and a warm top
Cost: $6.00
Prerequisites: None.
Brick Training
Where: South end of Balmoral Beach, Mosman (meet at the BTC Clubhouse next door to the Public Dining Room)
When: Saturdays at 6:30am, from start of June through to end of May 2024
What: Brick training runs for 1.25 hours, including bike on trainers and a run.
Bring:
Bike gear (bike, trainer, bike shoes) - the Club has 10 Feedback Sports trainers on a first in best dressed principle.
Run gear (run shoes, drink, towel)
Cost: $6.00
Prerequisites: None
We gratefully acknowledge the funding provided by the NSW Office of Sports for the purchase of the trainers and fan.
Open Water Swim
Where: South end of Balmoral Beach, Mosman (meet at the BTC Clubhouse next door to the Public Dining Room)
When: Saturdays at 3.00pm, all year round
What: Open water swim runs for 1 hour including a warm up swim, main session, and an easy swim cool down. Attendees can expect to cover 2-3km during the session, dependent on speed.
The main session is run from the beach and comprises varied pace and distance swim sets ranging from approx. 100m to 500m, always finishing at the beach for a period of recovery.
At open water swim, expect to encounter a variety of challenging conditions throughout the year including waves, chop, and varying levels of water visibility and water temperature. This is a tough session but great preparation for triathlons or ocean swim races.
Bring: Bright green swim cap, goggles, swimsuit, towel, wetsuit (recommended over winter months)
Cost: $6.00
Prerequisites: Open water swim attendees must be able to swim at least 1km continuous freestyle. If you are not yet able to swim this distance, check out our resources page for a list of swim squads that may help.
