Hello OxfordTri family
Slightly later this week, but I hope that you have all had an amazing weekend. We’ve got exciting news to share with regards to our awards winners, a reminder about the Round 2 Cross Country deadline and more including an exclusive for 2025 in this newsletter.
A huge congrats to all of our awards winners and thanks to all who were able to come along to the awards dinner on Friday night. It was so lovely to see lots of members and not in sportswear celebrating what has been an amazing year.
Have a great week.
God Bless
Craig

Wednesday Night Coached Swim Radley Spotlight
One of our members Alex has shared why Wednesday night coaches swim sessions is where you want to be!
“Radley Swim Session – a shout out!
In case you haven’t swum at Wednesday sessions at Radley before or haven’t been for a while….
All the great coaching and structure of the other sessions but added benefits of:
1 – Currently nice and quiet so 2 or 3 per lane.
2 – Six lanes so you can always find the right pace to suit you.
A bit more of a drive than Leys but still only 20 min from East Oxford.
You can sign up for this weeks session here – https://www.oxfordtri.uk/sessions/coached-swim-radley-pool-6-2024-11-20/
Also, if you have any thoughts on your own experience of the session or ideas on how we can make it more engaging please share them – HERE (Thanks in advance!)
