SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Drury swimming and diving head coach Brian Reynolds has revealed the Panthers' complete 2025-26 schedule, which includes nine home dates at Breech Pool, beginning with DU's annual Scarlet and Gray Intrasquad meet on September 27.

The Drury women kick off the regular season on October 3, hosting Southeastern Conference foe Arkansas. The DU men square off against Missouri S&T the following day at Breech to open their 2025-26 campaign.

Next, the Panthers will make the first of two trips to the Dallas Metroplex, where they will compete in the SMU Classic (Oct. 10-11). DU diving will compete at the Don Leas Invitational and Clarion Fall Classic the same weekend in Clarion, Pa.

Following a four-week hiatus, the Panthers return to Springfield to host the Drury Invitational (Nov. 8-9), which will include SBU, William Jewell, and Quincy. DU will follow with another trip to Texas, this time for the SMU Invitational (Nov. 20-22).

The Panthers will wrap up the 2025 portion of their schedule on December 5, when they host Great Lakes Valley Conference foes SBU and William Jewell for duals at Breech. The following weekend Drury diving will travel to Lawrence, Kan., to compete against Rockhurst and Kansas (Dec. 13) to conclude the year.

Drury opens the new year with a home-and-home dual against cross-town rival Missouri State. The Panthers will host the Bears at Breech on January 16, before the competition moves to Hammons Student Center the following day for round two of the matchup.

Next, the Panthers will conclude their home slate against Oklahoma Christian (Jan. 23-24) before making their way to Evansville, Ind., for the 2026 GLVC Swimming and Diving Championships (Feb. 10-14). Both squads will be looking to repeat as conference champions, after the DU women claimed their ninth GLVC crown and the men secured their seventh team title in 2025.

Drury will also look to repeat its recent success at the national meet, following top-three finishes for both the DU men and women at last spring's NCAA Division II Championships. This year's meet will be contested March 10-14 at Deaconess Aquatic Center in Evansville.

Drury has captured 35 combined national championships (20 men's, 13 women's), with Reynolds guiding 33 of those squads during his 42-year tenure leading the DU program.
