Coached squad sessions in the heated 50m pool at GESAC, with 2–4 dedicated lanes.
Sessions focus on speed, endurance and technique and suit swimmers of all abilities. Squads run Monday and Wednesday evenings (6:15–7:30pm) and Tuesday and Friday early mornings (5:45–7:15am) at GESAC, 200 East Boundary Rd, Bentleigh East — plus coached open water swims in season.
Road rides, indoor spin classes and long weekend rides across Bayside routes.
The week includes an early Wednesday road ride from Cheltenham Station, a Thursday 6am spin class at GESAC, and long rides on weekends from various Bayside locations — suitable for cyclists and triathletes alike.
Track, strength, tempo and aerobic run sessions for runners of every level.
Coached sessions run Tuesday 6:30–7:30pm at Sandringham Athletics Track (Glamis Ave, Hampton) and Thursday 6:30–7:30pm at the Bayside Triathlon Clubrooms on the Hampton foreshore (November–April) or Duncan MacKinnon Reserve (May–October), plus varied weekend sessions.
Combination workouts that put the disciplines together — ride/run, swim/run, swim/ride.
Weekend sessions combine long rides, runs and brick workouts so your body learns to switch disciplines the way racing demands. Race-specific preparation is built in as key events approach.

You get a copy of the video, a breakdown of your stroke, and continuing feedback on pool deck reinforced through squad sessions. Analysis is available immediately after a group session (maximum two people per session).
