The Cannonvale Cannons had an action-packed and exciting week filled with impressive swimming performances and valuable training opportunities. The week began with the Cannons hosting their Club Night on Wednesday, followed by a weekend swim clinic led by top swim coach Shaun Crow.
One of the standout performances of the week came from Eloise Chegwidden, who competed at the Townsville Tourist Swim Meet over the weekend. Eloise achieved outstanding results, winning gold medals in all nine of her events and setting personal bests in four of them. Her success is a testament to her hard work and dedication.
During Wednesday night's Club Night, the Cannons celebrated Jax Clayworth for setting two new club records in the 50m and 200m Butterfly events. Additionally, Giselle Burton presented Upgrade Certificates to several swimmers, including Isaac Pisaniello, Jax Clayworth, Kye Mitchell, Eric Mulliss, Leo Mulliss, and Tyler Bennett. Chocolate Awards for the best personal bests (PBs) were given to Blaire Harland and Harris Delac. Ruby Lawson was recognized for her outstanding performance, winning the Swim of the Night award for her 25m Butterfly. The top performers of Club Night, based on PBs, included Kye Mitchell, Tyler Bennett, Harry Chegwidden, Jax Clayworth, Lennox Wild, Isaac Pisaniello, Tora Delac, Charlie Doherty, and Liam Filewood.
The highlight of the weekend was the swim clinic facilitated by Shaun Crow. Swimmers participated in sessions designed to enhance their skills and speed, while parents attended an information session. One of Shaun’s swimmers, Harrison Turner, shared his journey with the attendees. At 20 years old, Harrison is a top Australian 200m Butterfly swimmer who trains with Shaun at Nudgee College. He also assisted Shaun with coaching throughout the clinic and enjoyed working with all the swimmers.
At the conclusion of the clinic, Shaun presented Most Improved Awards to Zach Trefz, Celeste Orenshaw, Andie Reynolds, and Zane Clayworth. The weekend was a memorable experience for everyone involved, with swimmers, parents, and coaches all thoroughly enjoying the event. Shaun’s favorite expressions, such as "Ducks in a Line," "Oi," and "Goldilocks," are sure to be remembered by the swimmers for years to come.
A big congratulations to all the swimmers who participated over the weekend! The Cannonvale Cannons had a fantastic week, filled with achievements and valuable learning experiences.
