Chicago, Ill. -- After months of offseason preparation and practice, the Thunder swimming and diving teams finally returned to the pool on Saturday for a taste of competitive action, as Wheaton began the 2025-26 season by traveling into the Windy City. Today's multi-team event at the University of Chicago was originally intended to be a quad meet, but Olivet Nazarene University dropped out of the competition, so it was reformatted as the Chicagoland Triangular, with the hosting Maroons and the Illinois Institute of Technology joining Wheaton for the meet.

The Wheaton women's squad topped IIT by a score of 177-99 for the Thunder's lone team win, as the IIT men edged out Wheaton, 154-135, in a competitive head-to-head showing.
