Welfare

The sport of triathlon is a strenuous one.

The N1 Tri Club has no responsibility to ensure individuals are capable of taking part. All elements of safety are down to the individual.

The National triathlon association has individual insurance available. The club does not have this insurance and is solely covered for some limited third party circumstances.

Life guards will be in attendance at all training sessions at the pool as per usual health and safety. A lifeguards will normally, but not always be in attendance for open or sea swimming. There are clear risks associated with open water or sea swimming above that found at an indoor pool, such as swells and strong tides. Members should familiarise themselves with these dangers and be confident with the conditions before attempting to swim outdoors.

Sea swims or open water are taken at members own risk.

It is a fixed rule that all members wear protective helmets on bike rides. Most bike rides will take place on Devon country roads, but these can have the occasional unforseen hazards. It is the individuals responsibility to ensure they are seen. Please ensure that your bike is well maintained and is safe to ride.

Please make sure that you wear high visibility clothing for road running - especially in low light conditions. It is important that all members abide by the highway code and do not endanger themselves or other motorists. Please do not take risks when crossing roads or hold up traffic unnecessarily.
