The Wheaton men's and women's swimming and diving teams each earned 2024 Scholar All-America Team recognition from the CSCAA for the spring season. The Scholar All-America Team award is given to collegiate swimming and diving programs that have achieved a grade point average of 3.0 or higher in the current semester/quarter. 

This year's Wheaton squads were two of the 563 programs around the country to register GPAs of at least 3.30.
