Club History

Since its inception three Crusaders have been nominated to Canadian Olympic/Paralympic teams: Marie Moore, Andrew Haley, and Coach Bill Greenlaw. In 1997 the club placed a section of four tiles in the Sportsplex Hall of Fame to honour these achievements.

Many Crusaders graduates have gone on to university in Canada on academic scholarship and to the U.S. on academic/athletic scholarships.

At more recent Canada Games, Crusaders placed seven swimmers and a head coach on the 2005 Team; three swimmers on the 2009 Team; five swimmers plus an Assistant Coach and three triathletes on the 2013 Team; six swimmers and one triathlete on the 2017 Team; and most recently three swimmers on the 2021 Team.
