The Cannonvale Cannons are preparing to host their own swimming carnival this weekend. The annual carnival is normally run in January, but this year the carnival was postponed due to the threat of a cyclone. The highlight of the swimming carnival is the Skins events where swimmers have an opportunity to win cash prizes.
On Wednesday, 30 swimmers participated in the second last Club Night for the swim season. Congratulations to Leo Mulliss, Matilda Nicholes and Pippa Laguna for achieving Club Upgrades. The Chocolate Awards were presented to Jack Ganter, Alex Trefz and Addie Sanders for their awesome PBs.
Highlights from Club Night include Ehsan Helou swam extremely well, swimming PBs in all his events. Ehsan’s sister, Anisa swam PBs in her 25m Freestyle and 25m Breaststroke.

Zach also swam a fantastic 100m Freestyle in 1.09.14 which was a 4.28 second PB. Don Algie swam 100m Breaststroke in a brilliant time of 1.36.58, a 4.26 second PB. Connor Lee, Leo Mulliss, Thomas Ganter and Sophie Palmero all swam very smooth Breaststroke to swim personal best times.
