Overall, three initial concepts and descriptions:

2. We will be officially a triathlon club, but try all three disciplines and in fact any act or sporting event is proposed. We are from lovers of swimming and therefore to make long trips at sea to mountain lovers and trail running. Obviously most of us will have the triathlon as a link.
3. We offer a website that we have already activated; a blog site will be opened in a high percentage, but are only entitled to write the members of the Club. This blog site will focus about our activity and our press releases. Through it we share synergies to help us improve and relating.

Social solidarity and responsibility established as one of the first targets, working with several foundations and NGOs, for example, Caico Foundation, UNICEF and the International Alzheimer Foundation and reinvest in the Club or other social events all that money left over after covering the costs of the Club, acting as a non-profit entity.
3. International: We will welcome any triathlete expatriate living in Barcelona, increasingly international city. This club will be directly linked and twinned with Hong Kong and Australia Dragons, where we do trade in all aspects. Any expat will welcome the Club!
4. Dragons Kids: A project for the younger kids in the house start practicing triathlon-related activities, such as "Splash'n'Dash" from age 6.

Among the club members will be people with experience in the Triathlon or any of its disciplines, and others with more theoretical knowledge.
The Club offers the option of having a personal trainer at reduced prices, discounts for club members.
We will have trade agreements with one or two stores related to the world of triathlon, which we will discount on the purchase of material.
Offer some clinical, to excel the technique of swimming, running or bike (safe swimming). We are gathering to offer more at 0 Euros cost for club members or with a very small share. Course training attendance will be voluntary.
Prepare events together. That is part of regular meetings that we do throughout the season look for two or three races where we will target the most members and prepare it together. Barcelona Marathon and 10K race that day, if made, will be the first one.
Sure we missed something and other issues that have not yet quite worked, in any case, it will be informed and reiterated that the main objective is to have a meeting place to make friends and improve through the respective expertise.
