Making Triathlon Affordable Again + Free Learn to Swim Program

The episode covers the physical demands of training at a high level, where daily aches and fatigue are normal experiences. The coaches emphasize an important coaching principle: world-class coaches don't need to be former elite athletes themselves, contrary to common amateur assumptions. They cite examples of successful professional coaches who never competed at elite levels.

The coaches recount their recent trip to Portugal for training camp and social media content creation. They describe Portugal's severe winter weather, noting their travel experience included a delayed flight but successful arrival. The Portugal visit included filming new training routes and discovering improved locations for brick sessions.

The coaches discuss their enjoyment of coaching new athletes and their learn-to-swim program funded by SSE Thermal, which has taught approximately 1,000 people to swim easily since 2016. They mention recent investments in anti-wash lane ropes for their swimming program, pending storage resolution through local council support.

Future plans include preliminary discussions with Seven Lakes about hosting 10-kilometer and 5-kilometer races, with hopes for a half-Ironman event in the same venue next year. The coaches are focused on making triathlon affordable again by reducing race prices to 2012-2013 levels through available funding.

Additionally, Jacqui has scheduled hand surgery for March 4th after her initial January operation was postponed due to unexpected demand for orthopedic procedures.
