Cannons Shines at Sprint Distance Club Night

The Cannons hosted another enjoyable Club Night on Wednesday night. It was “fast and furious” as it was a Sprint Distance Club event, so swimmers could only race in 12m or 25m events.
Congratulations to all the swimmers who set new Club Records: Harry Chegwidden (7 years) 100m Breaststroke in 2:07.20, Lucas Korosec (8 years) 200m IM in 3:27.58, Eloise Chegwidden (9 years) 400m Freestyle in 6:44.23 and 200m Breaststroke in 3:51.12, Miller Eaves (9 years) 200m Breaststroke in 3:50.05, and Jax Clayworth (11 years) 50m Butterfly in 32.98 and 1500m Freestyle in 19:37.65.
The Chocolate Awards were presented to Isabella Pisaniello for her massive 104.41-second PB in the 400m IM. Thomas Ganter also received a Chocolate Award for his “closest to best” time. Coaches’ Awards were presented to Indi Smith for her Club Night swims and to Miller Eaves for his 200m Butterfly during Distance Club Night. And Upgrade Certificates were presented to Zavier Woolston, Gracie Laguna, Faithlyn Trotter, and Liam Filewood.
Wonderful to see all the young swimmers shine in the shorter distances on Wednesday. Gracie Crichton (8 years) swam a terrific 25m Backstroke with a 2-second PB. Maeve Dichiera swam fantastic times in her 25m Freestyle and 25m Butterfly. Liam Filewood and Hazel Smith were in fine form, swimming 3 PBs each.
Stella Mulliss (6 years) swam a very smooth 12m Breaststroke in a time of 26.61s. Sunny Robertson (6 years) swam an excellent 12m Freestyle in a time of 21.18s. Brothers Asher and Reid Springbett, and Zavier and Caleb Woolston, continue to get stronger and faster each week. A special mention goes to Ruby Lawson, who swam extremely well, achieving PBs in all her swims.
Well done to all the swimmers who participated on Wednesday night! A big thank you to all the wonderful parents and volunteers who assisted.
