Swimming offers numerous physical, mental, and social benefits. It’s a low-impact sport, making it suitable for all ages and fitness levels, while also building strength, toning muscles, improving cardiovascular fitness, and enhancing flexibility. Swimmers also experience better coordination, balance, and posture.
Beyond the physical, swimming helps improve cognitive skills, boost confidence, and promote better mental health. It’s also a wonderful way to socialise and build friendships through teamwork.
The coaching team at Cannonvale Swim Centre is highly experienced. Head coaches Mark Erickson and Ken Crittenden have been coaching at Cannonvale for nearly 30 years and have trained swimmers who’ve qualified for both the Queensland and Australian Age Swimming Championships.
While they’ve worked with competitive swimmers, they also take great pride in helping swimmers of all levels reach their goals and enjoy the sport. Giselle Burton, who coordinates the Learn to Swim program, also plays a vital role in the Cannonvale Cannons Swimming Club, serving as Club Secretary.
