Who are Crusaders Swimming Club?
The club was formed in 1982 to develop swimming in the area.
We run very active sections for 'learn to swim', stroke development, social swimmers and competitive swimmers.
The club membership is in excess of 350.
Aims of the Club
Within a happy friendly environment we seek to develop social and competitive swimming, including 'learn to swim'.
We endeavour to provide every club member with the opportunity to realise his or her full potential.
The club enters inter club competitive galas, league competitions (Speedo Home Counties and Chiltern) as well as running internal club galas.
Crusaders Club Handbook (Word Document) downloadable.
Who runs the Club?
The club is run by the parents of swimmers. The committee is elected at the A.G.M. held in November. All the work undertaken is on a voluntary basis. This includes all the teaching and coaching by our volunteer qualified coaches and teachers.
Where do we train?
The majority of our training occurs over the weekend at Tiddenfoot Leisure Centre Leighton Buzzard. Everyone has the opportunity to swim at least once. This includes a 'learn to swim' session. All lanes are individually supervised by Teachers/Coaches holding A.S.A. Qualifications. Our competitive swimmers also have the opportunity to swim Mondays, Wednesdays,Thursday, and Fridays at satellite pools within the area.
