Swim
Pool & open water
Up to four coached pool swims a week, plus lake swims from May to October.
Dartford & White Oak Tri Club
Swim. Bike. Run.
Together.
Friendly, inclusive, for triathletes of all abilities — and best known for our open-water lake swims through the summer. We train, race and celebrate every finish line as a club, from first-timers to Ironman veterans.
What sets us apart
Open water is our thing
From May to October we run open-water swims at The Bridge South Lake, Dartford — Monday and Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. It's the confidence in open water that turns pool swimmers into triathletes, and it's what our members love most.
Mon 18:00–20:00
Fri 18:00–20:00
Sat 10:00–12:00
What we do
Three sports. One club.
Coached swim sessions every week of the year, lake swims all summer and regular club runs — delivered by our team of BTF-qualified coaches.
Bike
Ride together
Members arrange rides together through the club's WhatsApp group — and on race day the whole club turns out in support.
Run
Run with friends
Informal runs in Dartford Park and race-day support all season long.
