Chicago ranked 16th in the season's first CSCAA/CollegeSwimming.com Division III Poll.

The Maroons participated in the fourth annual Ted Mullin Hour of Power on Nov. 10. The event featured two special guest speakers: Dr. Steve Skapek, who’s the lead doctor and researcher for the Ted Mullin Sarcoma Research Fund located at the University of Chicago, and Dave Saper, a fourth-year medical student at Chicago who was a high school friend of Ted Mullin. The Maroons raised just over $1,000, almost double their previous high which also accomplished their goal of getting Head Coach Jason Weber to swim. Next year, if the Maroons can raise at least $2,000, Dr. Skapek and Coach Weber will swim the Hour of Power with the team.

On Nov. 10, the Maroons will participate in the “Hour of Power” relay in honor of Carleton College swimmer Ted Mullin, who died in the fall of 2006 from sarcoma, a rare soft-tissue cancer. Funds raised through this event support research at the University of Chicago into the causes and treatment of sarcoma in young people
