Locker Room Info

Please do not leave any items unattended in the locker rooms. Bring your bags etc out on the pool deck if they are not locked. Items may be locked in lockers during practice using your own lock. Locks may NOT be left over night on the lockers. At Wheaton College, lockers are available which require a quarter for use (you get your quarter back when you return the key).

We are cognizant that there are very young swimmers utilizing our locker rooms and that mom’s may be bringing in boys and dad’s may be bringing in girls; however, we do not have Family Locker Rooms. Our locker rooms are utilized by all age groups. It is for this reason that we cannot allow parents to bring their children in the opposite sex locker rooms. We ask parents to talk to their coaches, other parents or setup up a buddy system with other swimmers of the same sex to help the smaller children before and after practice. We appreciate your cooperation to uphold this policy.

Spectator / Visitor / Swimmer Guidelines

Parents are welcome to observe any of our team practices. However, Wheaton College asks that spectators remain in the pool balcony or in the North hallway (by the All-American swimming photos) at all times. Specifically, the College would like to avoid congestion in the main entrance hall and to keep the track free from spectators. Thanks in advance for your cooperation. Please see Specific COD Rules for more informatin about spectating and use of COD facilities. Please respect any facility the team uses for practices, meets, or other activities.

Codes (WC=Wheaton College, COD=College of DuPage, WN=Wheaton Northside)

Special Note About Session 2
Please note that we will have a slightly modified session 2 schedule beginning May 18. We are pleased to announce that we have access (for our National Team) to the Long Course Pool at Wheaton Northside Park a few weeks earlier than school gets out this year. This will allow us a very convenient schedule for all groups, and will also accommodate special events such as graduations and pool renovations at COD during that time period. We will post this modified schedule online as soon as possible.
