He won the British Columbia Championships four times in singles in 1907, 1908, 1910, and 1914, and twice in doubles in 1906 and 1907 and seven-times BC Mainland Champion (Western Canadian) in singles in 1900, 1906–1908, 1910, and 1912, and doubles in 1906.

[3] Schwengers was on the 1913 Canadian Davis Cup team along with J. F. Foulkes, Robert Powell and Henry Mayes.

Schwengers was successful in a wide range of sports, and was a champion rower for JBAA, setting the British Columbian 100-yard sprint record in 1898.
