Congratulations to Donny's Team Red for winning our first annual Red vs. Black Intrasquad Championship!

We have decided to create an exciting opportunity to establish a new DCST tradition: the inaugural Red vs. Black Intrasquad Meet! Our intention is to make this an annual event that kicks off each short-course season, bringing together swimmers of all ages and abilities for spirited competition, team camaraderie, and Halloween fun! This event will be held as a USA Swimming-sanctioned Block Party Meet , a new, experimental meet format designed to offer greater flexibility and encourage participation in competitive swimming. The meet will operate under applicable USA Swimming technical, safety and athlete-protection rules and the conditions of its sanction. Times achieved at this meet will be recorded in USA Swimming's SWIMS database and can be used for most qualifying purposes, although certain national-level restrictions apply. This meet will not be a YMCA qualifying meet for the minimum meets required.

We wanted to let everyone know that the Kishwaukee Family YMCA will be closing at 12:00 PM on Friday, October 16 , in preparation for its annual Halloween Bash! While our regularly scheduled afternoon and evening practices will be canceled, we will be offering a special morning practice on October 16th from 6 AM to 7:30 AM for the following groups: Bulldogs Newfoundlands Great Danes Nationals 

The Winter 2026 season has begun!

DCST families, we’re kicking off the season together! Join us for Back to DCST Night — an afternoon designed to get swimmers and parents ready, connected, and excited for another great season!
