Welcome to Linslade Crusaders Swimming Club, where we are proud to boast an unrivalled record locally for developing swimmers from their first ventures in the water right up to being National qualifiers and finalists. With a reputation for friendliness, our club fosters a healthy competitive spirit, combined with great team work and more than a dash of fun.

Thanks to a partnership forged with our link club, City of Milton Keynes via Swim 21 the club offers a comprehensive route for swimmers of all abilities. 

At Crusaders we believe that swimming opens up many opportunities for people of all ages. Through our renowned Learn to Swim scheme, parents can feel confident that their children have learnt a valuable life skill. The confidence of feeling safe in the water and the new skills learned, will equip children for many other aquatic sports.

We are keen to give opportunities to those children who are keen to be part of the world of competitive swimming. Just like their international idols in the sport, swimmers can learn how to train well to help them succeed in the pool. Swimmers can be confident that they are part of the best scheme in the area. Through a structured squad system in line with the principals of the LTAD swimmers will improve on all their technical skills while developing speed and endurance. 

Education is important to us, so we can ensure our swimmers receive the highest standards of teaching and coaching. Our dedicated teachers and coaches are ASA qualified and work under the guidance of our UKCC Level 3 head coach Adrian Smith.
