The Cannonvale Cannons have started the season strong with a mix of development opportunities and the return of the club’s much-loved Wednesday night racing.
Over the weekend, two of our juniors, Indi and Levi Smith, travelled to the Long Tan Memorial Pool in Townsville to take part in the Junior Achievers Squad clinic. Meanwhile, 17 of our dedicated Cannons headed south to the Memorial Pool in Mackay for the same program. Hosted by Swimming North Queensland and led by coaches David Proud and Liam Smith, the clinic focused on athletic development, coordination, mobility, and core strength, alongside refining freestyle technique. The day provided our swimmers with valuable insights and skills to take back to their training and racing.
Back home, our Wednesday night club racing has also resumed this month, and despite the cooler weather, swimmers have dived in with enthusiasm. A very warm welcome goes to our newest Cannons – Sunday and Wilson Hounsell, along with Finn Temple. Wilson and Finn made an immediate impression, both achieving upgrade times on their very first night in the pool.
The season has begun with a wave of upgrades across the club. Congratulations to Lucas and Jasper Korosec, Miller Eaves, Zavier and Lily Woolston, Lennox Wild, Jessica Moon, Indiana De-Lisle, Liam Filewood, Islan Johnston, Airlie Mladenovski, Faithlyn Trotter, Harry Chegwidden, Matilda Nicholes, and Eric, Leo and Stella Mulliss. A special shoutout goes to young Stella for her very first upgrades – a fantastic achievement!
We also celebrate Andie Reynolds for a spectacular first 100m Freestyle of the season. Andie clocked a 2.31 second personal best to join the 70s club in 1:09.69, earning the coaches award for her outstanding effort.
The Cannons are back with determination, growth, and plenty of excitement for the season ahead.
