There has been a dire need for a triathlon community here in the South Bay, especially after everything that went on in 2020. Coach Jasmine met Liz, her current athlete and SBS Co-Founder, at the One With the Ocean (OWO) swims, and from there went on to meet other triathletes that were looking to train together. Since Jasmine already had her coaching certification, she started offering some weekly workouts for anyone interested, and it gained traction much quicker than she expected. The group formed so effortlessly and organically that they quickly made themselves known as the South Bay Squad.
Coach Jasmine and Liz wanted to make the South Bay Squad an official triathlon club and enlisted Ronnie to be a part of their newly created SBS Dream Team Board. Together they were able to bring all their different skill sets to the table to create the special team you see today. They officially launched in March 2021 and became an official Ironman and USAT Triathlon Club. They picked up 15 sponsors for their first year, including their local bike shop, Triathlon Lab, Arena Swimwear, Muir Energy Gels, Vibram, UCAN, and many more.
This has become more than just a team, it is a chosen family. They support each other’s goals and endeavors no matter how crazy: Everesting Cycling Challenge, 80 Mile Birthday Rides, 50K Birthday Runs, Virtual Triathlons and Runs, and the list goes on! The amount of camaraderie this team provides is unlike any other, and we pride ourselves on building a group that’s inclusive and open to all. Most importantly, we love to unleash our inner beast and have FUN! So come on out, bring some friends, and join this one-of-a-kind squad :)
We are an inclusive team and don't tolerate any drama.
We are more than just teammates or training buddies, we are family!
We are not just about triathlons. We do our part to give back to our local community and support local businesses.
Always show good sportsmanship and support and cheer on others.
Remember, you can go fast by yourself, but you can go further with others.
We want to race and be the best we can be, but we also want to do it in a safe and healthy way.
Remember to have fun!
