This is focused on cycling but is also applicable to the group interval training sessions as well as the open water swimming sessions. The pre-activity briefing is an important element of any training session and helps to enforce the safety first culture.

• How many are we, what is the skill / experience level
• Go through the route, dangerous parts (roadworks, single file parts)
• Go through expected meteo, wind force and direction, rain?
• Check equipment, lights, no aerobars, clothing, brakes
• Go over the group calls

In case of a fast ride:

• Instructions on where to regroup, what parts are free for all, what past are at slow pace together

Go through key safety points:

• Keep safe distance, no half wheeling
• Speak up, tell what you are doing, going to do
• Be predictable and safe
