Community
Start with Communities
At 123-Tri, we believe that the strongest athletes are built within strong communities and environments. That’s why we’re proud to support inspiring groups including Tri-Hards Exmouth, Devon Sea Swim and Barnsley Swimming Club; bringing together athletes of all ages and abilities to learn, train, and achieve more.
Our partnerships are built on a shared passion for helping people enjoy swimming, cycling, running, and triathlon in a supportive and welcoming environment. Whether you’re taking your first steps into endurance sport, preparing for your first open water swim, or chasing a new personal best, community groups provide the encouragement, friendship, and experience that make every journey more rewarding.
By working alongside Tri-Hards, Devon Sea Swim, and Barnsley Swimming Club, we are able to offer more accessible expert coaching, structured training opportunities, and access to a network of like-minded athletes who motivate each other every step of the way. Together, we’re committed to developing confidence, improving performance, and creating opportunities for everyone to experience the benefits of an active lifestyle.
Stronger Together
In the last years, we have partnered with the Tri-Hards to lead a member’s swimming development and coaching programme; Devon Sea Swim & Exmouth’s Sideshore CIC to deliver sea swimming & water safety education to around 1,200 local school children; swim coaching & welfare officer services to Barnsley Swimming Club; and volunteering with Level Water.
We are proud to support these thriving communities and look forward to helping even more athletes discover their potential through collaboration, expert coaching, and a shared love of sport and the outdoors.
Partnering with local groups helps us create a greater impact by working with organisations that understand their communities’ needs. These partnerships build trust, extend our reach, and ensure support is relevant and inclusive. By sharing knowledge, resources, and expertise, we deliver stronger, more sustainable environments and cultures. Working together enables us to respond to athlete priorities, strengthen community connections, and create lasting positive change and outcomes.
