After the pandemic-related hiatus, we are more than thrilled to have launched our new and improved pre-competitive program. Lots of enthusiasm, hard work, and smiling faces in the pool three nights/week. Looking forward to watching these keen swimmers develop their skills and love of the water, and build towards the competitive roster!

After only a short layoff following the extended (and exciting!) 2021-22 season, CREST swimmers are back in the water in full force. We are thrilled to see many of last seasons’ graduates populating varsity teams across the country, and to welcome a fantastic group of new recruits to our roster! A great start to the season at the RHAC Fall Classic, with tons of personal bests, lots of medals and ribbons, and many CRESTparents chipping in on deck in officiating roles.

To wrap up the 2021-22 season, CREST cheered on our swimmers Ben Loewen and Charlie Skalenda, who were selected to represent Canada at the Jr Pan Pac Swimming Championships in Hawaii. Swimming outdoors through blinding sun and rain delays, while competing against top juniors from the US, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Samoa, Fiji, and Singapore, they delivered outstanding performances, doing our club and the Canadian squad proud. Congratulations for the hard work and determination over a long season, and thanks to our coaches who prepared them to excel on the...
