TRAIN WITH BALMORAL TRIATHLON CLUB
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.
We’re refreshing our training sessions for 2026!
Alongside our regular sets, we’ll be adding focused drills and technique coaching to help you swim, bike, run smarter, faster, and with more confidence!
In 2026 we will elevate the quality of our coached sessions by integrating more structured technique work, skills, and practical tips into every session.
Individual Session Communication - Session content will be publicised on the club FB group and WhatsApp channels the day prior.
Like all BTC events, training sessions will be conducted in accordance with prevailing Tri NSW Rules.
Each professionally coached 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.
