On Sunday, several standout athletes from the Cannonvale Cannons Swimming Club attended the SNQ State & National Clinic held in Bowen. Among the participants were Charlie Doherty, Thomas Ganter, Isaac Pisaniello, Jax Clayworth, Jacob Bell, Isabella Pisaniello, and Tora Delac. The full-day event provided expert coaching aimed at enhancing their swimming technique and overall performance.
The swimmers engaged in specialised pace and technique sessions, focusing on refining their strokes. A physiotherapist was present to assess their flexibility, ensuring the athletes maintain the necessary range of motion for peak performance in the pool. Additionally, the swimmers learned how to use trigger balls, a crucial tool for relieving muscle tension and aiding recovery. The day wrapped up with a yoga session designed to improve body awareness and concentration. It was a highly productive day for all involved, offering invaluable learning opportunities to boost their swimming prowess.
Special thanks go to Barry Prime from Swimming Queensland and Theresa Manning from Swimming North Queensland for organizing this outstanding clinic, which provided such valuable development for our swimmers.
Club Night Highlights
Last Wednesday, the Cannonvale Cannons held another exciting Club Night, where Giselle Burton proudly presented awards and upgrades to the club’s swimmers. The coveted Chocolate Award for the biggest personal best (PB) went to Harry Chegwidden for his remarkable performance in the 100-metre Individual Medley (IM).
Several swimmers celebrated upgrades, including Alex Trefz, who moved up to the 200-metre Freestyle, and River Shields, who advanced to the 50-metre Freestyle. Ruby Lawson had a particularly stellar evening, upgrading to the 100-metre distance in all four strokes, while Felix Hoise achieved upgrades to 25-metre Butterfly, 50-metre Freestyle, and 50-metre Backstroke.
Top performers of the night, based on PBs, included Charlie and Evie Doherty, Miller Eaves, Erik Hinrichsen, Ruby Lawson, Kaitlyn Moon, Eric Mulliss, and Andie Reynolds.
It was a fantastic week for the Cannons, with both the clinic and Club Night offering moments of achievement and growth for these dedicated swimmers.
