Potential new swim sessions at MSAC
Please also be aware that we are currently in talks with MSAC in securing additional lanes for specific beginners / technique swim sessions. This will be aimed at those new to swimming and want to work specifically on technique rather than fitness. This will also help alleviate the number of athletes in our lanes on Monday and Wednesday nights. Your patience and cooperation in the meantime is appreciated. Further details will be provided.
If you have any questions in advanced that you would like answered, please send them through to sarah@tri-alliance.com.au so we can prepare information.

TRAINING LOCATIONS
With our squad continuing to build momentum into the New Year, Tri Alliance training sessions are gaining in popularity - particular swim sessions. To cater for this, we have enlisted Lisa Saad as a technique swim coach who will be taking Friday Morning Swims at MSAC - 6.00am. Ollie will be heading back out to Brunswick Friday Mornings.
Jono is now also taking a run session out the West Tuesday Evenings at Maribyrnong River. So if you live or work out the West, make sure you get along to his sessions to help increase your running fitness and technique.
Make sure you check out all our sessions below - some of our new athletes may not be aware of sessions we have in the West. We also highly encourage athletes who can swim out at Brunswick to do so, aAnd for CBD athletes to look at attending Friday Morning Swims at MSAC.

SPECIAL BOUNCE HEALTH OFFER FOR TRI ALLIANCE MEMBERS!
Bounce Health Group MSAC are excited to provide two special offers for new Tri-Alliance team members.

Massage is a great way to maintain your body at peak condition and remove any aches and pains associated with increasing your training load. As such we are happy to offer 20% off your first two 45 minute massages with one of our myotherapists.
2) 20% OFF A MUSCULOSKELETAL SCREENING

A screening is a great way to identify and address issues that can help both prevent injury and improve performance. Our screening goes for 40 minutes with one of our experienced physiotherapists and runs through a range of markers specific to triathlon.
