In the early 50's, small group of Downers Grove residents came together with a common purpose: to build a pool. They took a lot on faith, hiring an architect and buying property before having the money to pay for the construction of the pool. Their vision would eventually become a reality when the corporation was formed on February 19th, 1954 and has become what is known today as the Downers Grove Swim & Racquet Club!

Today, we pride ourselves with 3 pools: recreational, lap, and a wading pool for our youngest members. Our sparkling pools are open from 10am to 9pm from Memorial Day to Labor Day, weather permitting.
