Flamengo had the participation of the Canetti family in the women's water polo, which ended up being eliminated in the semifinals, finishing in 4th place.

Synchronized Swimming, the last sport to compete at the Rio-2007 Pan American Games, with the participation of four athletes from CRFlamengo, won two bronze medals; one in the duet and the other in the team.

After competing with 42 countries, CRFlamengo exceeded expectations and ended its participation in the XV Pan American Games Rio-2007 in 14th place in the medal table, obtaining 3 gold, 3 silver and 4 bronze medals, ahead of the teams from Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru and Bolivia.
