Cannons Kickstart the New Season

The Cannonvale Cannons Swimming Club hosted its first Club Night for the new season with swimmers excited to get back into racing.  

Surprisingly, so early in the season, the 26 swimmers who attended achieved a total of 35 PBs.  

The club would like to congratulate Jy Parkinson and Jax Clayworth for setting Club Records at the Cannons’ Winter carnival.  

Jy set new records for the 400-metre Freestyle and 200-metre IM.  Jax set new Club Records for 50-metre Freestyle, 50-metre Backstroke, 50-metre Butterfly and 100-metre IM.  

The Cannons would also like to commend Don Algie, Lukas Trevaskis and Eloise Chegwidden for achieving Upgrade times.  

The coaches, new committee and swimmers are all looking forward to this new season especially after the Australian swimmers have done so well at the Commonwealth Games.  

Club Night highlights include:  Jax Clayworth swam an excellent time of 1.42.77 in his 100-metre Butterfly which was a 20.96s Personal Best (PB).   Eloise Chegwidden, 7, swam an impressive 100-metre IM in 100-metre IM (a 8.21sec PB).  Thomas Ganter, aged 10, swam a super time of 44.12s in his 50-metre Butterfly. While Lucas Korosec, aged 6, swam extremely well at his first Club Night.  

Isabella and Isaac Pisaniello both swam awesome times in their Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly events.

One of Isabella’s best swims was her 50-metre Butterfly which she swam in 49.64sec (a 6.54sec PB).  

Congratulations to Matilda Nicholes, Celeste Orenshaw, Indi Smith, Levi Smith, Don Algie, Jacob Bell, Harry Chegwidden, Zane Clayworth, James Davies, Harris Delac, Declan Dichiera, Maeve Dichiera, Liam Filewood, Jack Ganter and Jasper Korosec for also swimming PBs on Wednesday night.
