Samantha Crossley Lead Coach - Development

Sam has been a member of the Titans since the age of 6. She swam continuously throughout high school, making provincials in the 800m Free. Choosing to go to Nipissing University, Sam also swam with the club during her first year; she continued on at Nipissing to earn a BSc and a BEd. Sam began her coaching journey at the age of 16 working with the grassroots developmental program. In 2014, Sam was given the opportunity to fill the head coaching position. After enjoying the learning experience for 5 years, Sam stepped back in 2019 to focus on other opportunities outside of the pool, and to get back to working in the developmental grassroot program, which is where her true interest lies.
