Despite the wet conditions, the Cannonvale Cannons had a very busy week. On the weekend, five swimmers competed at the Lightning Swim Club LC Transition Meet in Townsville.
The Cannons would like to commend Jacob Bell, Tiana Bell, Jy Parkinson, Noah Maltby and Nelson Malady on their outstanding achievements.
Jacob achieved top placings in his Freestyle, Backstroke, Butterfly, and medley events.
Tiana’s best swims include her 50m Freestyle and 100m Breaststroke which earned gold medals.
One of Nelson’s best swims included his 200m IM which he swam in a terrific time of 3.14.31 to earn a gold medal.
Noah Malby was very happy with his national qualifying time in the 100m Breaststroke which he swam in 1.12.76. Jy swam very well in his 100m Freestyle which he swam in 54.49 seconds, 1st place.
On Wednesday night, 30 swimmers participated in Club Night even though it was raining. A big thank you to all the parents who braved the conditions and helped with timekeeping, officiating, and cooking up delicious Chilli Con Carne.
Congratulations to Jax Eaves and Declan Dichiera for achieving the best PBs and taking out the Chocolate Awards. The coaches awarded Eric Mulliss the Swim of the Night Award for his 100m IM.
Swims of the night include: Ganter brothers, Thomas and Jack were on fire! They smashed all their times especially their Butterfly and IMs!
