Cannonvale Cannons Wrap Up Another Big Week In The Pool

As we near the end of our club night season, it’s been incredible to witness the number of upgrades and club records set by our swimmers. A huge congratulations to Jax Eaves, Eloise Chegwidden, Jax Clayworth, and Lucas Korosec for breaking new club records over the past fortnight!

We also want to acknowledge the swimmers who have recently earned upgrades for their outstanding performances: Reid and Asher Springbett, Zach Trefz, Indiana De-Lisle, Lucas Korosec, Kaitlyn Moon, Faithlyn Trotter, Indigo Harland, and Ruby Lawson. Congratulations to each of you for your dedication and continuous improvement!

This week marked our second Distance Night of the season, offering swimmers the chance to challenge themselves in longer races. The evening kicked off with the 1500m Freestyle, a true test of endurance. Great job to Jax Clayworth, Tora Delac, Harris Delac, and Zach Trefz for taking on this race and delivering exceptional performances.

Another highlight was the 400m Individual Medley, where Isabella Pisaniello, Charlie Doherty, and Roxy Groom pushed past their comfort zones with impressive swims.

We also saw some fantastic personal bests. Congratulations to Harry Chegwidden, Bonnie Crichton, Maeve Dichiera, Roxy Groom, Indigo Harland, Issac Pisaniello, Isabella Pisaniello, and Addie Sanders for achieving remarkable improvements in their times.

Over the weekend, several families travelled to Townsville for a special interclub meet, providing swimmers with the chance to secure qualifying times for the NQ Schools competition. Well done to those who hit their targets – we wish you the best in your applications!

Looking ahead, our focus now shifts to the NQ Championships in Townsville next weekend. We’re excited to see our swimmers compete against some of the region’s best. Good luck, Cannons!
