Attention Swimmers!!

Contacting the Coaches

The old CATY voicemail box at the YMCA is no longer active.  Please do not call the front desk and ask to leave a message for the coaches in voicemail.  The coaches do not check it, and will not receive your message.  While you may still use the Y's number to reach the coaches or to reach the front desk, if you have questions they can answer (such as membership, billing, facility hours, etc), the swim team no longer has voicemail.  The best way to reach the coaches is via email (email addresses are available under each coach on the coaches page).

 

If you would like to schedule a conference with a coach, please email or phone the coach for an appointment.  Please note that coaches cannot confer on deck before, during, or after practices.  

 

Team Suits

Replacement suits may be ordered directly from Blazin (contact Blaise Matthews, Blazin co-founder and our team's rep, at 484-888-6944 or blazin@zoominternet.net).  Team suits may be purchased at any time, and will be mailed directly to you from the company.  Swimmers are reminded to save their TEAM SUITS for the meets.  Wearing them in practice will cause them to stretch and wear out prematurely

 

Additional Team Gear

Tradewinds order forms are due with payment no later than Wednesday, October 24th at 9pm.  Please put completed order forms in the Keehner mailbox.  CATY caps can be purchased from Ms. Dorothy Keehner or from the coaches after practice.  Latex caps: $5.00. Silicone caps: $12.00.  Cash or checks should be made payable to Western Family YMCA Swim Team.
