The Wiscasset Community Center Unsinkables are “going for the gold” this season. Inspired by the Summer Olympics, the coaches hope the theme will encourage swimmers to try their best and reach for their own gold. Changes planned for the season are designed to make this more possible for more swimmers.

This year there are three levels of participation: the green, white and gold teams.  Green team members are ready to try competitive swimming, but may not have all of the strokes mastered. These members will practice twice weekly, Mondays and Wednesdays.  

White team members are those swimmers who are still developing skills, but can perform all four competitive strokes.  Practices for the white team take place Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  

The gold team members are ready for the next level of competition. Focus will be on skill refinement and race strategy.  These members make a commitment to five practices a week, Monday through Friday.

The Unsinkables record holder Tim George returns this season to help Head Coach, Lori LaPointe and Assistant Coach, Lili Pugh on deck for the start of the 2012-2013 season on October 1.
