The Cannonvale Cannons Swimming Club had a spectacular weekend at the 51st GBR Long Course Transition Meet in Mackay. Thirty-five swimmers made the trip to compete at the Mackay Aquatic & Recreation Centre, a FINA-approved 50m pool that sets the stage for elite performances. This meet, a favourite among the Cannons, marked their final regional carnival before the Queensland Long Course Championships in December.
It was a weekend of remarkable achievements with medals, personal bests (PBs), and qualifying times for State and School events. Among the standout performers based on PBs were Eloise Chegwidden, Jax Clayworth, Zane Clayworth, Tora Delac, Declan Dichiera, Charlie Doherty, Evelyn Doherty, Jax Eaves, Roxanne Groom, Jasper Korosec, Lucas Korosec, Stella Mulliss, and Adelaide Sanders.
A special congratulations goes to Don Algie, Ella Bounden, Eloise and Harry Chegwidden, Jax Clayworth, Tora Delac, Charlie Doherty, Miller Eaves, and Lucas Korosec, who medalled in all their age events.
Back at home, the excitement continued with a lively club night. Upgrade certificates were awarded to Alex Trefz, Miller Eaves, and Kye Mitchell, while Isla Johnson earned the Coaches Award for swim of the night. The coveted Chocolate Awards went to Jax Clayworth, who shaved over 30 seconds off his 200m freestyle, and Roxy Groom and Ruby Harland, both clocking 0.02-second improvements.
With many new families joining the Cannons, club nights have never been more vibrant. Why not come and give it a try? Your first night is free! Club Nights run on Wednesdays at the Cannonvale pool, with warm-up at 5pm and racing from 6pm.
The Cannons are now preparing for the Queensland Long Course Championships next month, ready to make waves on the state stage.
