Coach Kate began swimming at the age of eight and hasn’t stopped. This is her first season coaching the Reading Y team and she is so excited! Coach Kate grew up in Berks County and competed at Wilson High School and the Reading Y (for a short time).  She was team captain of her HS swim team and her proudest achievement, even over being an All-American swimmer, was winning the sportsmanship award. Coach Kate also played water polo throughout and post HS.  She played on the HS team as one of the three girls and played several summers in summer league. After attending Rider University as a scholar athlete, she began her Masters swimming career and still finds peace and happiness while swimming the black line in any pool. She coached West Reading’s team for two summers while also managing the West Reading Pool where she met the love of her life, her husband, Wayne. While starting her teaching career, she had the opportunity to be assistant coach with Albright College's first swim team. After two seasons assisting for Albright College, she moved into coaching the club team at Albright, The Albright Aquatic Club. She continued her coaching career with AAC until she moved to California to start her married life. She never stopped looking for a pool and continued Masters swimming in sunny California. After moving back to Pennsylvania, she helped jump start the Masters swim program at Wilson High School and still participates with that group today. Most recently, she serves as a board member for the BCSA and she has managed the Wyomissing Pool for three summers.  Coach Kate also volunteers for the Wyomissing Wahoo swim team as Meet Coordinator for the Long Course Invitational. She brings a true love of swimming into this new position and looks forward to seeing the growth in each of the RY swimmers. Go Stingrays!
