In 2026, DCSL will continue with the expanded 2-day meet for the League Championship. This allows each swimmer to race in 3 individual events. The meet is planned for Acalanes High School, and will be BOTH Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26 for a 2-day championship meet. As a reminder, the DCSL Championship is our most important meet of the year. We strive for 100% participation at this meet. Every athlete counts! Every swim is important!

Additionally, we are able to offer 4 warm-up and cool-down lanes throughout the meet. These lanes (12, 13, 14, and 15) will be staffed with lifeguards. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping this area as quiet as possible.

Only swimmers 11 and older may use the warm-up and cool-down lanes. Swimmers ages 10 and under are not allowed in the warm-up/cool-down lanes.

MEET TIMELINE: The morning sessions begin at 9:00 AM.  The afternoon sessions begin no earlier than 3pm, but at least 2 hours after completion of the morning session including swim-offs. The Desk will publish the afternoon schedule following completion of the morning session.
