What are my Options?

ATC offers various membership and affiliation options and you can choose those that best meet your requirements:

  • ATC Multisport membership includes participation in the Swim, Bike and Run training sessions and you can get Triathlon, Duathlon and Running licenses with this membership.  There are lower cost options for Students, Members who live far away and Scholars.  Multisport membership automatically includes membership to all the sub-clubs.
  • Atlantic Triathlon Club membership used to be the same as Multisport.  In 2012 we created a special Triathlon membership option to promote affiliation to Triathlon SA and CTTA in conjunction with the recreational license offered by CTTA.  Triathlon membership is offered at a lower rate but members must affiliate with TSA (recreational or full) in order to take this membership option.
  • ATC Swimming membership is for swimmers who would like to join for our canal swim and who would like to affiliate with Swim South Africa and SA Masters Swimming.
  • ATC Cycling membership is for cyclists who would like to join in our training rides and who would like to affiliate with Cycling South Africa.
  • ATC Running membership is for runners who only participate in the club’s run training and who want to get a running license.
