Cannons First Club Night for 2023

The Cannonvale Cannons Swimming Club will be hosting their first Club Night for 2023 on Wednesday, 11 January, 2023.  

Many swimmers have been training over the school holidays preparing for the carnival season ahead.  

The first carnival for the season will be held in Ayr on 14 January and the club has 17 swimmers participating.  

The club is also preparing to host its own Cannonvale Cannons carnival on 21 and 22 January.

Last week, 30 swimmers participated in a goal setting workshop. Swimmers reflected on 2022 and set realistic goals for the next 10 weeks.  

Some of the swimmers set competitive goals and others set fitness or stroke goals.  

Last Thursday, 12 junior squad swimmers participated in a dive workshop. The coaches, Ken Crittenden, Shay Wilmot and Mark Erickson say it was very successful and it was rewarding to see swimmers feeling more confident with their dives and starts.  

On Friday afternoon, swimmers thoroughly enjoyed a couple of games of water polo and “flipperball”.  

The Cannonvale Cannons would like to welcome new swimmers and their families to come along to Club Night.  New members are always welcome.
