ABOUT FIRST WAVE

First Wave was founded in July, 2002 by a group of students in GCC's Triathlon Training class. Since then we have grown both in numbers and organization. We recently decided to become a non-profit organization in October, 2003 and began our membership drive!

Our focus is on bringing together triathletes in a fun, social, enviroment... while also offering challenging workouts. First Wave "hosts" several training sessions each month with a variety of workout types and locations to choose from. Most of our group training sessions are located conveniently for those who live in the Glendale, Peoria, Phoenix, or North Phoenix vicinities.

We provide support to team members as they race in local and regional events. We offer members the ability to travel to races in a group setting with team support. To view a list of upcoming rcase we'll be attending, click here!

We also provide various educational opportunities to our members including clinics, guest speakers, and special training events. Please check our Training Schedule for more information.
