About Lakers

The West Lakes Triathlon Club aka The Lakers is the largest club for the sport in South Australia. We have more than XX members from juniors through to masters and enjoy a history lasting almost four decades.

There’s a place for everyone here. We are an inclusive, encouraging non-profit that welcomes people who are just starting out in triathlon as well as supporting our seasoned athletes at all levels.

Our dedicated volunteers and coaches offer a wealth of knowledge and some of our members are world champions! Everyone is happy to share training tips and advice with plenty of fun along the way.

Triathletes in this state are blessed with some stunning natural backdrops for training: sparkling lakes, scenic trails, picturesque beaches and world class cycle routes through the Adelaide Hills.

When we’re not swimming, cycling and running there are also club social events to look forward to including educational workshops and our annual awards night.

Our community is about helping athletes of all levels train, improve, connect, and achieve goals together.
