Northwestern men’s and women’s swim and dive teams have been hosting and attending competitions all fall. The women’s team is 2-1, with wins against Illinois and Illinois-Chicago, while the men’s team has a 1-1 record with a win over UIC. Our photographers were at the Indiana and UIC meets to capture the action.
