2025-2026 Triton Challenges
This system is replacing our monthly challenge system last year. We hope that this provides a balance to the swim and community aspects! Once a challenge is complete, swimmers check in with Coach Joseph to obtain a point. 15 points get a swimmer a black team cap with a name (only way to receive a custom team cap in black), and 18 points earn a SVYT challenge completionist T-Shirt! Points are good from September to August. Most challenges completed receive an award at the end of the competitive season.
Challenges are categorized into two different themes: swim and community
Swim challenges are things each Triton should strive for to become a better swimmer. Community challenges are those that promote the Y Core Values and encourages swimmers to extend those outside of the pool.
