Level 3 & Triathlon Training
From midnight tonight (Tuesday, 6th October) until the 27th of October, all counties in the Republic of Ireland will be on Level 3 of the Government’s Framework for Living with Covid-19. As a triathlon community we ask that you continue to adhere to the guidance, remain within your county when training, and look out for each other.
What does Level 3 mean?
In terms of Triathlon Ireland Training, the following are the key points for clubs and members when training;
Outdoors
- Triathlon Ireland members can train within their own county.
- Triathlon Ireland members can train together outdoors in multiple groups of 15.
Indoors
*UPDATED*
Sport Ireland have approved club pool sessions, however this will be at the discretion of the pool operator. The following must be in place;
- Social distancing restrictions in place at the pool must be observed.
- Sessions are individualised rather than group or pod based. The numbers below allow sufficient spacing to be classified as individualised training, with a club coach leading the session.
- Each individual should be given their own start and end point to avoid congregation at either end of the pool.
- 50m Pool – up to 6 individual athletes per lane
- 25m Pool – up to 5 individual athletes per lane
- 20m Pool – up to 4 individual athletes per lane
- A maximum of 2 coaches per session, working from opposite sides /ends of the pool
No other indoor training permitted.
Pods
Training pods should be maintained and pods should avoid mixing. Coaches & Instructors should be included in the pod sizes. Congregation pre and post sessions should be avoided.
