The Cannonvale Cannons Swimming Club is gearing up for an exciting new season, with a fresh committee led by new President Jade Korosec already hard at work planning a calendar full of activities for swimmers and their families.
Building on the club's strong community spirit, the committee is looking forward to another season of competition, development, and plenty of opportunities for members of all ages to get involved, both in and out of the pool.
While excitement has been building, there was disappointment across the club after the Swimming North Queensland Short Course Transition Meet, scheduled for last weekend at the Cannonvale Swim Centre, was cancelled. As the Cannons' home carnival, it was set to welcome clubs from across the region and provide local swimmers with an important opportunity to test themselves early in the season.
For several Cannons swimmers, the meet also represented a chance to achieve qualifying times for the Queensland Short Course Championships in August. Although the cancellation was disappointing, the squad remains focused on training and will now look towards upcoming carnivals to chase those qualifying performances.
Coach Ken Crittenden said he has been delighted to see swimmers maintaining their fitness throughout the school holidays despite the cooler winter weather and the challenges of training while construction of the toilet block roof is underway at the pool.
Their commitment and enthusiasm have been a positive sign as the club prepares for another successful season.
The club would also like to wish Cannonvale Masters Swimming Club members Ken Crittenden, Robin Arndale, Joanne Ladd and Mark Erickson every success as they travel to Townsville to compete at the Queensland Masters Swimming Championships.
The Cannonvale Cannons wish all competitors the very best and look forward to another exciting season in the pool.
