From the first notes to the final breath, West Side Story is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Arthur Laurents’ book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. The world’s greatest love story takes to the streets in this landmark Broadway musical that is one of the theatre’s finest accomplishments.

USAT Splash & Dash @ Tucson Jewish Community Center
Aug 20 @ 7:00 am – 11:00 am

USAT Splash & Dash

A Splash and Dash is a fun and fast-growing youth sport that combines running and swimming.

The USA Triathlon Splash & Dash Youth Aquathlon Series will be returning to The Tucson Jewish Community Center for the 3rd year. The J’s event will be one of fifty (50) events in total across the USA with events in each of the ten (10) USA Triathlon regions. The J’s event will be a timed event, but not all events across the country will offer that opportunity.

The focus is on PARTICIPATION rather than competition. The series will expose youth participants to USA Triathlon and the exciting world of multisport! Timing will not be required at each event, although it is acceptable. All events within the series will be USA Triathlon sanctioned.

Open to ages of 7-15 and have a USA Triathlon annual youth membership, you are eligible to take part in the fun and exciting multisport series! Be prepared for a great experience, bring a positive attitude, and be ready to learn firsthand about multisport! Please note that you do not need to be a member of the USAT Triathlon program, but registration costs a bit more.

$27.25 (USAT Members) or $37.25 (USAT non-members, includes $10 membership fee)
