History

A Training Ground for an Olympian

Middletown is the home of Tom Wilkens, who, as captain of the 2000 Olympic Swim Team, won the Bronze Medal in the 200 Individual Medley.

Wilkens grew up swimming at the Middletown Swim Club. As a member of the Club’s swim team, he set records for the 50 Breast and 50 Fly that today remain unchallenged.
