José Emmanuel Crescimbeni Barrantes (born June 25, 1990) is an American-born competition swimmer who has represented Peru in international events, specializing in the butterfly.[1] He represented his parents' homeland Peru at the 2008 Summer Olympics and has currently owned Peruvian records in both the 100 and 200 m butterfly. While residing in the United States, Crescimbeni claimed the 2007 Florida High School state championship title in his signature events, and later served as a member of the Florida Gators swimming and diving team under head coach Gregg Troy.[2]

Crescimbeni competed as Peru's lone male swimmer in the 200 m butterfly at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.[3] He scored a ninth-place time in 2:01.09 to clear the FINA B-cut (2:01.80) at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[4] Swimming in heat one, Crescimbeni held off a hard-charging Javier Hernández Maradiaga of Honduras by a tenth of a second (0.1) to snatch the third spot in 2:02.13. Crescimbeni failed to advance to the semifinals, as he placed forty-first overall in the prelims.[5][6]
