Updated statement regarding Covid-19
Fusion triathlon club continues to consider the advice from government and our sport governing body, Triathlon Scotland. Triathlon Scotland have today issued the following guidance for clubs:
Advice For Clubs
Following the latest Scottish Government updates, we would advise clubs to consider the following points as part of their decision-making process when considering the continuation of club activities:
- Clubs may continue with training sessions at their discretion. However, the health and wellbeing of athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers and spectators should be at the forefront of any decision, therefore clubs should consider carefully the guidance provided by the Scottish Government in relation to protecting participants.
- Engage regularly with your facility provider to understand their position regarding continued operations around access and activity.
- Ensure the risk of person-to-person transmission is minimised. This will involve considering overall numbers that are likely to be involved within club environments and training sessions, along with any amendments to your approach of delivering training sessions (e.g. splitting into smaller groups etc.).
Clubs with training environments with more than large groups of athletes/coaches in close proximity (particularly indoor areas) should consider different approaches to those gatherings. - Consider a sensible approach to athletes/volunteers who no longer wish to take part. This should be accepted and fully supported.
- Follow and promote the advice that has been provided by the appropriate agencies regarding the best way to minimise the risks of infection. If any athletes, coaches, officials or volunteers are displaying cold, flu or COVID-19 symptoms they should follow this advice and refrain from attending club sessions.
Triathlon Scotland will continue to work closely with our partners and will support clubs as decisions around the delivery of activity are made.

At this time the club have taken the decision to continue with our sessions for members as usual. When deciding whether to attend members should make their decision after considering their own individual circumstances but with particular regard to:
- Who they work with that may make them more at risk from infection
- Those that they live with or care for, are they in they considered vulnerable or have underlying health conditions
- If you have any symptoms at all or live with anyone that does you should absolutely not attend club sessions
Those attending sessions should where possible consider social distance and all general advice on personal hygiene and hand washing. Members that are well but uncomfortable attending group sessions can contact the club and be provided with guidance and sessions to do on their own or in smaller groups
This continues to be an unprecedented and quickly evolving situation so this is how things stand as of the evening of Monday 16th March but it may change at any time.
We will endeavour to update all members as soon as possible should things change.
