Eleven Cannonvale Cannons swimmers were recognised for their outstanding performances last season after being selected for the Swimming North Queensland (SNQ) State and National Development Squad ONCORE and Stroke Refinement Clinic held in Mackay and Townsville over the weekend.
Representing the Cannons were Eloise Chegwidden, Thomas Ganter, Roxy Groom, Jax Clayworth, Ruby Harland, Alex Trefz, Tora Delac, Harris Delac, Miller Eaves, Charlie Doherty, and Hamilton Anflous.
The clinic was coordinated by Queensland coach Barry Prime, who engaged ONCORE Academy founder Jade Edmistone to deliver the specialist development program. A former Australian breaststroke swimmer, World Champion, and World Record holder, Edmistone shared her expertise with some of North Queensland's most promising young athletes.
Throughout the day, swimmers completed athletic development, body control and streamlining activities before taking part in an intensive in-water session focusing on the ONCORE program, underwater skills, stroke refinement and technical efficiency.
The Cannonvale Cannons were also proudly represented on the coaching team, with club coaches Ken Crittenden and Mark Erickson assisting Swimming North Queensland coaches in delivering the technical stroke sessions. Their involvement highlights the quality of coaching available within the Cannons program and their ongoing commitment to swimmer development across the region.
Head Coach Mark Erickson said selection to the development squads reflected the swimmers' commitment and determination throughout the season.
"These opportunities expose our swimmers to world-class coaching and new training methods while reinforcing the importance of sound technique. They returned home with greater knowledge, confidence and motivation, and we're incredibly proud of how they represented both themselves and the Cannonvale Cannons."
The Cannonvale Cannons Swimming Club congratulates all eleven swimmers on their selection and thanks Swimming North Queensland for providing another outstanding development opportunity for the region's emerging talent.
