Cannonvale Cannons Celebrate a Stellar End to 2024 Club Night Season

The Cannonvale Cannons wrapped up their 2024 club night season with a series of remarkable achievements and festive fun, cementing a fantastic year for the team.
The season concluded with several notable upgrades, including Liam Filewood and Zane Clayworth advancing to the 100m Butterfly, Miller Eaves to the 200m Freestyle, Lucas Korosec to the 200m Individual Medley, Alex Trefz to the 100m Breaststroke, Eloise Chegwidden and Tyler Bennet to the 200M Backstroke. These accomplishments reflect the dedication and progress of our swimmers throughout the year.

Club records were also broken, with standout performances by Jax Clayworth (11-year boys 200m Butterfly), Eloise Chegwidden (9-year girls 50m Breaststroke and 100m Individual Medley), and a first-ever club record for Harry Chegwidden (7-year boys 25m Backstroke). Congratulations to these swimmers on their exceptional efforts!

Swimmers who participated in the "Design Our Next Club Shirt" activity were presented with Boost Juice vouchers to reward them for their creative efforts. We can’t wait to see their ideas come together for the 2025 club shirt. A huge thank you to Boost Juice for supporting this initiative.

The season ended on a festive note with a Christmas-themed club night, featuring the much-loved parent/child relays. This light-hearted event brought families together for some spirited competition and plenty of laughs. Thank you to all the parents who joined in, making it a night to remember.

The evening also saw the announcement of our Queensland State Long Course team, who were proudly presented with their team shirts. These swimmers are heading to Brisbane this week to compete at the Queensland Championships, representing the Cannons against the state’s finest. We wish them the very best of luck!
What a year it has been—congratulations to all swimmers, families, and supporters for making 2024 a season to celebrate!
