New for 2026: we will be moving to Age Group Starts

As race day approaches, each age group will be assigned:

• A corral time
• A start time

Age groups will be seeded based on estimated 300-yard swim time. This format not only creates a more competitive and engaging race experience—especially as a USAT National Qualifier—but also helps reduce crowding on the pool deck and improves overall flow.

We expect the start process to remain smooth, with a similar cadence to past years and only minimal breaks between groups.

Free Youth Splash & Dash on Friday

• Although the event is FREE Pre-registration required.
• Arrive by 4:30pm, first race starts at 5pm. 
• Age Group Races with varying distances: 5 &under, 6-8 years, 9-10 years
• The 5 & under race will start promptly at 5pm and each race will start after the full completion of race prior. 
• Each group will do a short swim with full run enclosed in the park. This is a 'fun race' and encourage parent assistance in the pool or on the run and floatation devices are approved. 
• Awards and Celebrations to follow 
• Please consider volunteering for this free event (click the volunteer tab)
