Head coach
FRANCES GURR
Hi, Im Frances​​
​
I have been competing in triathlon for over 16 years, beginning as a junior athlete with the South West Junior Academy. This year I have qualified for the 2026 Multisport World Championships in Pontevedra (Olympic Distance Aquabike) and the European Triathlon Championships (Olympic Distance).
​
As a BTF Level 2 Diploma Qualified Coach, I combine practical experience with strong academic knowledge. I hold a BSc in Strength & Conditioning, Rehabilitation & Sports Massage and an MSc in Sport Coaching & Pedagogy, and I currently lecture in Sport Coaching and Sport & Exercise Science.
My passion is helping people achieve their goals, break through barriers, and realise what they’re truly capable of — both in sport and beyond.

Triathlon Coach & Media
Bea Wilkey
Hello, I’m Bea!
I’m a Level 2 tri coach with a passion for helping athletes achieve their swimming goals. Before diving into the world of open water swimming and triathlon, I spent 14 years competing in Artistic Swimming and 3 years coaching both adults and children in the sport.
​
My love for the water didn’t stop there—I’ve completed the 5km Great North Swim and even conquered a 10km swim in Turkey! When I’m not in the water, you can find me on the tennis court, perfecting my serve, or in the kitchen, baking delicious cakes.
In my spare time (my actual day job), I serve as a Taunton Flower Show Coordinator, managing traders, membership, volunteers, and entertainment.
I’m always up for a new challenge or adventure!
