YMCA New Starting Blocks

The Westfield Area YMCA Devilfish are diving into a championship season with brand new starting blocks. A fundraising campaign that ran from February 24 to March 8, 2020 raised $7,500 from friends and family of the Devilfish Swim Team, with the remainder of the funding coming from the Westfield Area YMCA and the Devilfish PAC (Parents Assistance Committee). 

While the team had hoped to have these blocks in for the start of the 2020/2021 swim season, the pandemic shut everything down just days after the fundraiser ended. Once back up and running, the blocks were ordered and delivered as quickly as possible. The Y thanks everyone who participated and made the starting blocks a reality.
