TCST, Maine Swimming, and USA Swimming’s top priority continues to be keeping our athletes safe. No form of abuse, including child sexual abuse, has a place in our sport. USA Swimming is committed to reducing the risk of abuse in swimming and increasing awareness of red flag behavior through its Safe Sport program. All adults working with athletes are responsible for creating an abuse-free environment.

Head Coach Matt Reed
Matt started his swimming career with TCST back in 2003 and later swam for Lewiston High School, graduating in 2010. After graduation, Matt began working at the Auburn Y, working as an assistant coach for Twin Cities under Tom Manduca until 2014. After leaving the Auburn Y, he spent 3 years as the Aquatics Director at the Alfond Youth Center in Waterville where he oversaw the Mid Maine Dolphins and was head coach for Winslow High School. During this time Matt was also an avid Masters swimmer. Matt is coming back to swimming after spending the 6 years serving in the Air Force and Air National Guard. He is excited to finally come home to TCST and can’t wait to see what the season has in store!
