Welcome Coach Quinn

Swim DCST

We are incredibly excited to announce that Quinn Cynor has been named the new Director of Competitive Swimming for the DeKalb County Swim Team!

For DCST, this is an especially exciting homecoming. Coach Quinn is a DCST alumnus who went on to compete as an NCAA Division I swimmer and qualify for the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials!

Quinn also brings a strong educational background with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and a Master’s degree in Health Promotion. This summer, our swimmers have already had the opportunity to work with him as both a strength and swim coach, allowing him to get to know our athletes, families, team culture, and community.

As he steps into this leadership role, Coach Quinn will focus on developing swimmers at every age and ability level, with an emphasis on technical excellence, progressive strength training, athlete development, and creating more competitive opportunities for our swimmers.

Once a Big Dog, always a Big Dog!

We couldn’t be more excited to welcome one of our own into this new role and see where Coach Quinn leads DCST next!
