Summer session starts June 3 – Registration open!
Group swim and instruction for all abilities
ET Masters is a weekly swimming program designed for triathlon and fitness swimmers. USA certified coaches will provide structured workouts and stroke improvement instruction at each one-hour group session. Summer session focus will be on in-season swim sets to improve endurance and speed with a special emphasis on triathlon specific swim techniques.
“ET Masters has been an amazing help to me with my swim technique…every time I swam Masters Class, the coaches were able to pinpoint one particular area for me to work on, and with those minor changes and their encouragement, I was able to take my swim to a whole new level! Thank you, ET!!”
Triathlon specific group swimming and instruction for all abilities
ET Open Water Swim Clinics at Centennial Beach is a weekly swimming program designed for triathletes. USA certified coaches will provide structured workout sets to build endurance and triathlon specific skill instruction such as open water sighting, wave starts, drafting, buoy turns, and bumping.
“I really want to give you guys a VERY LARGE THANK YOU for all the help that I received from you, especially on Monday nights, I tried 3 other tri’s before today, the swim’s were all the same; panic, frustration and hanging on to whatever I could. Fortunately, I was introduced to Experience Triathlon at the ET Batavia Tri and been swimming with you since and have learned more about tri swimming in 9 weeks then in the previous 10 years. Today’s swim at the Naperville Tri presented by ET was great… no panic, no frustration, no hanging on, just swimming. Without your help, I would not have been there today. I’m already planning my next triathlon. THANK YOU AGAIN. Please pass this on to Coach Suzy, Coach Cathy, Coach Joe and Coach Jim.” – Gary H.
“The Open Water Swim sessions that you offer have been a critical part of my swim training this year and it’s why my swimming has improved so much! It’s an absolute perfect environment to absorb the conditions of a triathlon race and it’s been the catalyst to help me overcome my weaknesses and fears. I’m so much more confident in the open water now! Thanks to all your swimming coaching staff. They’re so knowledgeable and they make Monday nights a blast. I love all the services that ET provides and I appreciate all that you do to make us love the sport of triathlon so much more. Thanks!” - Cathy O.
This program is free to ET coached athletes and ET Tri Club members. Non-ET Tri Club members are welcome to join us for one complimentary session before joining our Tri Club.

After a long cold winter and with spring just not wanting to make a long term appearance in Chicago, Thursday April 25, 2013 finally arrived and I was about to set off on the training trip of a lifetime. Solvang, California and Experience Triathlon’s Spring Camp here I come (along with 15 of the best teammates and coaches a girl could hope for).
I remember reading Chilly Pepper’s account of the 2012 trip and somewhere in the back of my mind I knew I wanted to join the ET Team in 2013. Then I was landing in LA and heading north to Solvang. The two and a half hour ride went by much faster than I expected, the views of the Pacific Ocean were amazing and you could tell why some of the world’s most rich and famous made this area their home. We arrived at the hotel and quickly changed and headed out for a short run. We headed down the street just outside of the Santa Ynez Valley Marriot. Who knew that not too far down we would end up on a private street with horse ranches to the right and a perfect view of the mountains? After the long plane ride and the car ride to our little piece of paradise for the next four days, that run just got the heart pumping and the legs flushed out. It was the perfect way to start Solvang Camp 2013.

ET Run Club moves to our summer location on Saturday, May 4.
Run Club is open to everyone – regardless of fitness level or running experience!! The experienced and certified coaches of Experience Triathlon invite you to come join one of our regular group runs that are held on Saturday mornings at 8 AM. We run outside year round, and we run in small groups according to distance and pace. The distance typically ranges from 3 to 7 miles on any given run, and we make sure no one runs alone. One of the highlights of our group run is the coffee social held after almost every run — after all, who doesn’t run to EAT?

The ET Batavia Triathlon and Duathlon is coming up on June 9, and we need your help!
In addition to the triathlon and duathlon, we have youth events to produce and support. We expect to fill to capacity again this year and we need volunteers for both the adult and kid’s race.
Helping with an event is almost as much fun as doing the race, and it’s a great way to “give back” to the sport, help other athletes, and support some great charitable organizations!
In addition to these great benefits, volunteers can also take advantage of the following perks:
- 50% off your race registration for next year
- Awesome race crew dri-fit t-shirt
- Free pizza and beer at the finish line (after your volunteer stint, of course!)
Please complete and submit the following form to volunteer:
