Fit 2 B Kids offers a multisport event for youth ages 7-15* called a Splash & Dash! (*determined by age as of 12/31/2026, not the age on race day.) Young athletes participate in a swim-run-race event and have an opportunity to get a cool race shirt, cross a finish line, and earn a medal! Coaches first introduce young athletes to racing in an atmosphere of fun and learning. Athlete will: Learn how to set up their swim-run transition.How the swim start is set up and how many laps they will do based on age.They will walk through the logistics of the run course.Participate in a team warm up.Be able to ask questions.Put it all together and participate in the final event on the same day! Wear their finish line medal!Enjoy post event food and music!Have fun! Distances: At Fit 2 B Kids, we believe young athletes should develop speed in shorter distances before developing endurance. Why? The window for developing speed is only open at younger ages, but athletes have a lifetime to develop endurance. We follow USA Triathlon's guidelines for age-appropriate race development and encourage young athletes to be the best they can be at the distance they race. Ages 7-8: swim 50m (pool), run .5 mile (1 lap) Ages 9-10: swim 100m (pool), run .5 mile (1 lap) Ages 11-12: swim 200m (pool), run 1 mile (2 laps) Ages 13-15: swim 300 (pool), run 1 mile (2 laps) Note: if an athlete is unable or does not complete all laps for any reason, they will receive a finisher medal, however, they will not be eligible for podium awards. Race for the FUN of it and/or to Compete!: Athletes can participate to simply enjoy the training and to meet new friends, or to also enjoy the competition of racing. Most importantly, we are developing an atmosphere of camaraderie while encouraging kids to dig deep, develop skills of athleticism, perseverance and determination so they can cross any finish line with confidence!
