Hobbies (besides triathlon)

Family, mountains and nature, yoga, reading a good book, doing something sporty with friends and then sitting together afterwards

Andrea's question (“What would your life be like without sport?”)

I can't imagine a life without sport. No sweating, no tired legs, no adrenaline and endorphin kick … so boring!!! But what I'd miss most would be the wonderful times outdoors with family and friends.

Trial session

Just come along.

The first session is free and commits you to nothing. Drop us a line to say when you would like to come – then we know to expect you and you will not be standing at the poolside on your own.
