Dickson Aquatic Centre and Triathlon ACT are working together to bring the first ever Community Splash & Dash Aquathlon to Canberra on Sunday 24 November 2019.

This is a community focused event catering for both first time participants and seasoned professionals. Anyone over the age of 7 can participate in a fully timed 50m swim and 200m run within the Dickson Aquatic Centre. 

A great event to challenge your mates!

Registration on the day opens at 8:15am with the first race kicking off at 9:00am. The event will finish by 10:30am.

Race categories are based on the age you are on the day of the event and include:

• 7-8 years
• 9-10 years
• 11-12 years
• 13-14 years
• 15-19 years
• 20-39 years
• 40+ years

All participants will be eligible for the draw to win some great prizes, and will all receive a kit bag - with swimming cap, drink bottle, vouchers and other products from our sponsors, as well as healthy refreshments after the race.

Online registrations will close 11:59pm on Wednesday 20 November 2019. Registration is open on the day from 8:15am and will cost $20 for all categories.

There is parking available at Dickson Aquatic Centre or at the Dickson Shopping Complex - which is only a short walk away!

What to wear? 

For the swim: Each competitor must wear suitable swimwear.

For the run: Each competitor must ensure their torso is covered for the run (putting on a tshirt for example!) and wear suitable running shoes (no bare feet, flip flops or sandals permitted).

Bring a print out of your registration on the day (having it on your phone is ok too)

We're excited to see you all there!
