Enter Carrie Wall

In 2009, the Director of the YMCA of Dane County retired.  Carrie Wall was hired as his replacement.  There's still a Channel 15 Newsblurb on this event that is linkable.

I will pull out a quote from Carrie in that link:   Now, more than ever, we need to partner with schools and other organizations to assure those that need us most have access to programs and services that develop our youth, strengthen our families and support all to reach their healthy lifestyle goals.

I will posit that having a strong (and competitive) swim team would help achieve those goals.

Per the news blurb above, Carrie Wall took over in early 2010.

I was kinda curious if I'd saved the announcement of her arrival in my email (Did I get one?  I don't know), so I went back into my emails to check.  No.  But in the email from Coach Shane Ryan at the beginning of the 2010-2011 season, she was mentioned:

I do have some very exciting news to share with everyone because a lot has happened over the summer. The YMCA of Dane County has decided to merge and "centralize" the swim team programs. The decision to centralize was made by the new CEO/ President of the YDC Carrie Wall and also through the support of the YDC Branch Executives. Currently, the Madison West and Lodi teams have combined into one team. In the future we are planning on all teams within the YMCA of Dane County to become one team, but for right now West and Lodi are one. We decided that centralization would be in the best interest of all of the YMCA of Dane County Swimming Programs so we could combine resources, create consistency between programs, offer more opportunity to interested swimmers and to help strengthen our program overall. Our new team name is the YMCA of Dane County Waves. We will be changing our name for YMCA and USA Swimming purposes and our new club code and team abbreviation will be YDC. Please refer to the team as the Waves or YMCA of Dane County Waves.

So, out with MWY and in with YDC.
