Who?

We established the Quicksilver Triathlon program to bring the sport of triathlon to first-time and amateur triathletes in the South Bay, with a primary focus on swimming since it tends to be the greatest barrier. Our program is a response to two major gaps we noticed in the local triathlon scene:

  • We are the ONLY year-round, in-person, coach-led triathlon program in San Jose.
  • We provide opportunities for beginners to join the sport, serving both seasoned competitors and newcomers.

What?

Our program provides a comprehensive, coach-led preparation plan that is accessible and adaptable for new athletes. We will train beginning in April, and will compete as a team in local events from May to September, in preparation for a final triathlon in October.

Your membership includes (each week):

  • Four in-person sessions with the triathlon team led by a certified Tri Coach
  • Full access to the Quicksilver Masters practices (swimming)
  • An individual workout plan provided at the beginning of each week
  • Discounts on certain training & competition gear, apparel, and race entry fees

For safety reasons, the minimum fitness requirement to join our adult swim team is:

  • Ability to comfortably swim 50 yards freestyle with side breathing
  • 25 yards of backstroke or breaststroke
  • 25 yards of flutter kick on the back

Swimmers at this level are considered beginners. The mid-morning and evening workouts are the most beginner-friendly. If you cannot yet meet the fitness requirement, please consider our Adult Learn-to-Swim or Intro to Masters programs before you join the triathlon team.
