Due to the geographical nature of the club most pool swimming is done at Total Fitness or Virgin active gyms. There are currently no formal sessions run but we hope to change this in the near future. If you are a member at one of these clubs then just contact us and we can put you in touch with members who swim there.

Group Rides

The club runs a bike ride every Saturday morning. The rides depart at 9.30a.m. from either Preston Sports Arena or Hewitts Cycles, Leyland.

There is an interval run at Preston Docks each Wednesday evening. The structure of this session makes it suitable for both beginners and experienced runners. We meet at 7pm in the Car park in front of Bensons for beds near the Ribble Pilot Pub.
