Jeez, how many Kiefer catalogs do we need? They're the Pottery Barn of swimming gear. How about print one, maybe two catalogs per year and pass on some of the savings to their customers?
I'll stand up for Kiefer! Yeah, they do send catalogs, but they also support Masters Swimming in a big way.
I have run a number of masters meets over the years and whenever I ask Kiefer to donate door prizes, they have always been more than generous with donations of swim bags, googles and caps.
We use their donations as door prizes and I know that the lucky swimmer appreciates Kiefer's kind generosity - it really helps us draw swimmers to our small but fun events.
And as far back as my memory goes, they have sponsored the men's 100 backstroke at National. The heat winner gets a cap or towel. I don't see the other big vendors doing that!
So GO KIEFER!! - They have great customer service and a good range of products - (but you could set up a listserve and/or ask us if we want a PDF catalog delivered by email (those mass mailing are expensive!)
