As the
chair of Swindon Triathlon Club, I'm immensely pleased and proud to
say that we've achieved the TriMark Club Bronze award.
Not only that, but we're the first club in the
South West of England to do so!
I’ve been involved in quality and best
practice since I started my career. Thames Water was a quality management
business and being one makes a difference. My business, redheadPR is
also a best practice business achieving 93% in the consultancy management
standard. Quality means: no waste,
good practice, smart working, quality output and continuous refinement
and improvement.
That’s why it’s important for a
great and growing club, like Swindon Triathlon
Club, to be run along best practice lines, and to be
recognised for it too.
The TriMark award is part of an accreditation
scheme designed to help triathlon clubs offer a consistent and safe environment
for triathletes. The aims are to increase the standard of triathlon coaching
and regulation across England and attract more people to the sport. It was
developed by Triathlon England in conjunction with Sport England.
The scheme has been running since April 2017 and is aimed at all community clubs promoting and running triathlons. To join the scheme we had to have an established committee, a recognised constitution and offer membership to all. We also had to show that we could offer a high level of regular activities, run by qualified coaches.
Clubs who've gained this level of organisation can prove they offer a safe and rewarding place where people from all walks of life can be involved in triathlons. People can try out the sport, the different disciplines and take part as much or as little as they like.
Gaining the TriMark Club Bronze Accreditation is a fantastic achievement for Swindon Triathlon Club and shows how well the club is run. We've got a great team of volunteers on the committee, putting a massive amount of effort into supporting over 100 members. We're involved in all forms of triathlon, from sprints to long-distance ironman events and have a wide variety of members from all ages and walks of life.
Swindon is a great place for triathletes, with fantastic running and cycling routes along with excellent lake venues. Club members range from novices to international ironman competitors and we have a wide range of membership options to make it easy for anyone to join. At the moment the membership split is nearly 50:50 between male and female.
