LEXINGTON, Ky. – The 2025-26 Kentucky swimming and diving program is set to host their annual blue/white intrasquad meet on Friday, Sept. 26 at the Lancaster Aquatic Center at 4 p.m., which notches the official start to the season for the Wildcats. Admission will be free to all home swim and dive events, with doors on Friday opening at 2 p.m. for fans.
