Quinn Nolan, Swimming

Quinn delivered a dominant performance at the 2025 AUS Kemp-Fry Invitational, entering the meet with the ambitious goal of sweeping all four 50m sprint events—and achieving exactly that. Quinn won the 50m Freestyle, 50m Backstroke, 50m Breaststroke, and 50m Butterfly, all in personal-best times. Each of these swims now ranks within the Dalhousie Swimming All-Time Top 10, and he set two new DAL Varsity Records in the 50m Breaststroke and 50m Butterfly. 

Quinn’s excellence didn’t stop there. He earned U SPORTS qualification in the Butterfly, Backstroke, and Breaststroke events, and helped seal the Tigers’ overall victory by leading off the 400m Freestyle Relay to a first-place finish. 

Head coach Lance Cansdale highlighted Quinn’s continued growth and potential, noting: 

“Quinn has focused as a mature athlete and has continued to improve since coming to DAL. And I still see so much more upside.” 

Originally from London, ON, Quinn is in his fifth year of eligibility and is completing his Master’s in Resource & Environment Management.
