The YMCA of Auburn-Lewiston has offered competitive swimming opportunities for youth in Central Maine for over 100 years, being one of the few teams to have participated in the inaugural National YMCA Swim Meet in 1923. Our swimmers have had the honor of representing us in meets as far away as Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia, as well as numerous meets across New England.
The purpose of TCST is multi-fold: first, to grow and sustain a high-quality, championship swim program in the greater L/A area, and second, heighten community awareness and education to the importance of water safety.
Twin Cities Swim Team is a TEAM. Each member of the team will have opportunities to contribute to the success of the team. The contributions of each member of the team are valued equally. When your teammates succeed, you succeed.
The objective of the Twin Cities Swim Team is to help its members to develop into competitive swimmers. We realize that all swimmers develop differently. It is our aim to get all swimmers to realize their full athletic potential.
USA Swimming, Maine Swimming, and the TCST are committed to fostering a fun, healthy, and safe environment for all its members. We have formally implemented a comprehensive Safe Sport program to respond to and prevent instances of abuse and misconduct within the sport of swimming:
