Kevin Zakrzewski returned to Stevenson back in August 2015.  Kevin was an 2000 SHS graduate who attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (2000-2001), and University of Wisconsin-Madison (2001-2004) where he majored in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. He was a 4-time Varsity letter winner (1-UN-Lincoln, 3-UW-Madison).  During his time at UW Madison, he was a 3-Time NCAA All-American and was the Breaststroke leg of the 4th place 200 Medley Relay at the 2004 NCAAs.

In 2006 Kevin came out of retirement due the passing of one of his closest friends.  That summer he qualified for the 2008 Olympic Trials in the 100/200 BR.  During that time he helped co-found the Christopher Steele Foundation where he was named President in 2010.  During the 10 years of CSF, they donated over $100,000 to Northwestern Memorial Foundation for Sarcoma Research, and donated to SHS Hockey and Baseball to support athlete scholarships.

After the 2008 Olympic trials Kevin became the Assistant Head Coach at CATS Aquatic Team from 2008-2012.  After that he ventured to Northwestern were he was the Head Senior Coach of NASA-WILD, and also was a volunteer for the Northwestern Women's Varsity program from 2012-2015.

Kevin is also a (CSCS) Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist and an ASCA Level 4 member.

Thomas Schwingen has been involved with swimming as both a competitive swimmer and coach for most his life. He started swimming competitively at the age of 5 and continued through the age of 20 for UIC. His highest accolade was qualifying and swimming the Toyota US Open in 2000.  After college he coached for 2 years at the Oak Brook Stars swim team. Then went on to a ‘normal’ daily job for 7 years but wasn’t really enjoying it. So, he came back to coaching in 2011, first at PAC for 2 years, then Ultimate Swimming for 2 and back to PAC in 2015. Thomas has coached multiple Regional, State and Zone qualifiers and Champions throughout his career.  He is very passionate about swimming and being able to give his swimmers all the knowledge and tools needed to be the best swimmers they can be.
