Good morning SVYA Tritons, I hope you are all having a wonderful end of August! I have a few updates that I would like to share with everyone before we dive into the next competitive season!

Accounts will default to the old rate (which is now called Tsunami B), but needed to make this distinction for our administrative...

Good morning SVYA, I have uploaded the event pages for the lake swim and team picnic! I will need everyone to log in and declare if they will be attending or not (both are optional though highly encouraged for fun and teambuilding). This will help with planning, as well as make sure there is enough interest in the lake swim. We are looking to have at least 10 swimmers signed up for the 29th. I plan on having at least 2/3 kayaks available both days, for safety during the lake...
