Blue Waves

Welcome!

We are The West Suburban YMCA Blue Waves Swim Team! Founded in 2002, by former coaches Katie (Behrens) Kotch and Lindsay Stephenson.  We are part of the Eastern Massachusetts YMCA Swim League. This past 2007-2008 season, we had 50 Eastern MA YMCA District qualifiers.

Several of our swimmers competed in the YMCA New England Championships at Harvard University this past March.

Interested in joing the team? Contact Amy Williams at bluewaves@westsuburbanymca.org or amyw@westsuburbanymca.org, or call at 617-244-6050, ext 3020.

 

 

2008 Summer Session

Blue Waves Summer Sessions at Camp Chikami in Wayland (ages 6-17) 

Join us for our first Blue Waves Summer Session!  It will be a nice change of pace as we begin a new season and make the transition outdoors.  All participants MUST be a FISH level or higher in order to participate.

Practices will be Mondays-Thursdays from 4:15-5:30pm at Camp Chickami's outdoor pool in Wayland.  For inclement weather, practices will move indoors for a dry-land workout.  Please be sure to bring appropriate clothing.

Space is limited due to the maximum occupancy and size of Camp Chickami's pool.

For more information, please contact Amy Williams at 617-244-6050, ext 3020 or email at amyw@westsuburbanymca.org.
