The Cannonvale Cannons officially kicked off the 2024/25 season with their first Club Night on Wednesday. Despite the chilly conditions, a total of 26 swimmers took to the pool, including three new members: Erik Hinrichsen, Kate Savage, and Ruby Lawson. The club extends a warm welcome to its newest members and their families.
During the event, swimmers who set new club records at the Winter Carnival were recognized with certificates. Zach Trefz now holds the 50M Butterfly record for 12-year-olds. Jacob Bell broke the 17-year-old 200M Individual Medley record, and Levi Smith was celebrated for setting new records in both the 9-year-old 50M and 100M Breaststroke events.
Upgrades were also announced, with Andie Reynolds moving up to the 800M Freestyle, Tyler Bennett advancing to the 200M Freestyle and 200M Butterfly, and Zach Trefz upgrading to the 400M Freestyle. The youngest recipient was Evie Doherty, who upgraded to the 100M Freestyle and 100M Backstroke. Congratulations to these swimmers; the club eagerly anticipates watching them compete in their new events this season.
Over the weekend, six of the club’s talented swimmers represented the Cannonvale Cannons at the prestigious Hancock Prospecting Queensland Short Course Championships in Brisbane. The team, consisting of Tora Delac, Tyler Bennett, Zach Trefz, Thomas Ganter, Ruby Harland, and Don Algie, was accompanied by Coach Ken Krittenden. The competition was fierce, but the Cannons held their own against some of the best swimmers in the state, securing several top-ten finishes and numerous personal bests.
Special congratulations go to the swimmers who secured the following placements: Tyler Bennett finished 7th in the 50M Freestyle, Zach Trefz took 9th in the 100M Backstroke and 10th in the 50M Backstroke, and Tora Delac placed 10th in the 50M Breaststroke.
As the season progresses, the Cannonvale Cannons are eager to build on these successes and continue making waves in the pool.
