Event Description

The Colorado Springs USA Triathlon Youth Splash and Dash presented by SafeSplash Swim School will be returning for its sixth year and is open to athletes ages 7-15. A Splash and Dash is a fun and fast-growing sport that combines running and swimming. The swim will take place in Cheyenne Mountain Resort's scenic outdoor pool in the shadows of Pikes Peak, while the run will take place on a closed, paved path that encircles the Club's lake, Curr Reservoir. The focus is on PARTICIPATION rather than competition. The event will not be timed and is sanctioned by USA Triathlon.

Do you remember when you took swimming lessons? Most of us do.

But unlike riding a bike, swimming is important to your child's safety and development. At SafeSplash, we understand... Swimming is a life skill. Giving your child the opportunity to learn from passionate instructors that provide individual attention in the best facilities, sets them up for an outstanding experience. That is the SafeSplash Way.
