Over the past 30 years Cannonvale Swim Centre has evolved from a small club to a vibrant community that proudly represents 120 members and welcomes more than 200 swimmers to regular training sessions.
The Swim Centre is home to the Cannonvale Cannons, a thriving club which has recently seen three of its members qualify for national competition.
In the beginning, the Club wanted to offer Cannonvale residents a local place to swim and train, this has now evolved and countless children head straight to the pool after school.
“They love the social thing and usually have a bit of afternoon tea before they get in the pool,” explains Raylene Rasmussen, Club Secretary.
“A lot of people think that swimming is just going up and down the black lines, but you’re always talking to people in the lanes and little groups love getting together.”
Cannonvale Swim Centre offers classes and training for all ages, five and up.
Non-swimmers are more than welcome and one-on-one classes are offered for adults who would like to learn to swim.
Those interested in joining the club can choose from a wide range of options that can suit almost any lifestyle.
From a once weekly lesson to training up to five times a week for those looking to compete – you can attend as little or as often as you like.
Cannonvale Cannons also attend regular carnivals and tournaments, from Townsville to Brisbane and sometimes even interstate.
