Cannons Gear Up For A Super 2025

At the end of 2024, the Cannonvale Cannons hosted a fantastic Christmas Club Night and wished the State Team all the best at Qld LC Championships.  At the start of Christmas Club Night, Giselle Burton presented Tyler Bennett with an Upgrade Certificate and Harry Chegwidden with the Coaches’ Award.  Congratulations to Harry Chegwidden and Jax Clayworth for setting new Club Records.  Harry set a record for 7 years 25m Backstroke in a time of 23.01sec.  Jax Clayworth aged 11 years set a new 200m Butterfly record in a time of 2.57.71.  
During the Christmas Club Night, Harris Delac, Indiana De-Lisle, Jax Eaves, Miller Eaves, Roxy Groom, Mackenzie Bennett, Tyler Bennett, Ella Bounden, Harry Chegwidden, Bonnie Crichton, Sophie Palmero, Isabella Pisaniello, Addie Sanders, River Shields, Hazel Smith, Asher Springbett, Reid Springbett, Billie Jamieson, Lucas Korosec, Pippa Laguna, Ruby Lawson, Kye Mitchell, and Stella Mulliss swam extremely well and achieved personal best times. Well done swimmers!  
The coaches, Ken Crittenden and Mark Erickson are very excited about the start of 2025.  The coaches have been working with swimmers on their goals and developing plans for the season.  There are lots of district carnivals coming up in the next two months and swimmers are training so they can achieve their best at these events.  The coaches would like to commend the following senior swimmers for training consistently during the first week of January:  Jax Clayworth, Zane Clayworth, Andie Reynolds, Ruby Harland, Koa Harland, Tora Delac, Harris Delac, Charlie Doherty, Evie Doherty, Declan Dichiera, Roxy Groom, Millie Groom, Matilda Nicholes, Celeste Orenshaw, Nelson Malady, Zach Trefz, Maeve Dichiera, Lucas Korosec, Eloise Chegwidden, and Eric Mulliss.
