The Amphibians2 Triathlon Club is based at Christ's Hospital Sports Centre near Horsham in West Sussex.
We are a thriving club attracting members from the West Sussex area. Our 60 members range in age from 15 to 70. Although we are located
around the Horsham area, we have members joining us from as far away as Worthing, Steyning, Brighton and Guildford.
We organise the Southwater Relays each September, and have many coached training sessions a week ranging from time trials, biking, studio cycling,
track and interval sessions and of course swimming both pool based and open water.
Training
We run a full programme of training sessions year round structured by our head coach Mark Tickner. We have three coached swim sessions a week at
Steyning Leisure Centre and Christ Hospital 25m indoor pools.
In the summer months we swim in Southwater Lake. We organise a Sunday cycle ride to cater for all abilities.
We also organise long training weekends to the French Alps and take in some of the TDF climbs or just bimble through the fantastic scenery – its not
all like Alpe d’Huez.
Racing
We participate and compete at all levels from novice to international elite over distances from tri-a-tri to ironman.
Every year we organise a series of Club events open only to members which count towards a Grand-Prix series. We also organize summer handicap triathlons to kick-start your weekend.
In the winter months we put out a team in the Sussex cross-county league.
Social
We all meet up after Saturday swimming at the café in Christ Hospital which is a great way to start the weekend and get to know everyone. We also organise outdoor trips to Wales and Dartmoor where we don’t do any triathlons but try different pursuits like caving, climbing, mountain biking and walking. Other adhoc events are planned throughout the year including summer BBQs and the Christmas dinner.
