History of the club 

Initially Swansea Vale were an unofficial tri club of 3 people, formed in 2017. They then had so many local people asking to join, they officially became Welsh Triathlon affiliated in 2020 and membership numbers have been growing ever since.  

How does Swansea Vale Tri stand out from others? 

“Obviously having the Best kit in Wales” said Chairman Ian, “Other triathletes have also commented on how loud and well supported our club is at events.”  

SVT really come together, not just in supporting but in participation too.  “At Ironman Swanesa 2023, we had 134 members taking part which was the biggest amount of participation from a single club in an Ironman event outside of America.”
