Community & Open Water Activator
Activator Award
All sports need inspirational individuals who motivate people to take part and stay involved in sporting activity.
The solution is the Activator who could be quite simply anyone - an interested parent, spouse, sibling, an active triathlete, a qualified coach or Technical Official. Activators may take on a variety of roles depending on their environment, ranging from welcoming people to organising activities and leading the activity (not coaching it).
There are two courses within the North East in the New Year.
Community Activator
20th January at the North East Wake Park
There are three important key strands to this role, all of which can be rewarding and will enhance participation and enjoyment of triathlon for all.
- To organise and lead safe, effective and inclusive triathlon training activities and experiences (cycling & running).
- To inform, inspire and cultivate connections in their local clubs and communities, with initiatives such as GO TRI.
- Act as a ‘coach support worker’, helping the Head Coach during sessions (e.g. setting up and take down equipment, taking timing splits, writing the session on the white board etc.)

Open Water Activator
17th March at Hartlepool Marina
This course will be very similar in rationale to the above Activator course, however specifically designed around supporting organised open water swimming sessions in approved venues. The Open Water Activator course will be heavily focused around safety and risk management and supporting open water swimmers. This is NOT a coaching qualification. Individuals who aspire to become a coach much complete a formal coaching qualification.
