Cannonvale Cannons Celebrate A Festive Finish To 2025 Club Nights

The Cannonvale Cannons wrapped up their final club night of 2025 with a festive Christmas celebration full of colour, community spirit, and proud swimming moments. With Christmas-themed warm-ups setting the tone, the evening kicked off with presentations.
Upgrade awards were proudly received by Oliver Mitchell, Hamilton Anflous, Isla Johnston, Harry Chegwidden and Mackenzie Bennett.

The Coaches Award was presented to Isla Johnston for her strong performance in the 25m breaststroke, while the crowd cheered on our Chocolate Award recipients — Lucas Korosec for swimming closest to his PB and Mackenzie Bennett for recording the biggest PB of the night.

Festive spirit was on full display as we recognised the most Christmas-inspired swimmers and families. Congratulations to Kaitlyn Moon for her standout holiday outfit, and a big thank you to the Chegwidden, Mulliss and Temple families for their wonderful family-wide efforts. Your joy added something special to our end-of-year celebration.

We also acknowledged the talented swimmers heading to the Queensland Long Course Championships next week. Best of luck to Celeste Orenshaw, Tyler Bennett, Jax Clayworth, Hamilton Anflous and Tora Delac, who will travel to Brisbane with Coach Mark Erickson for this highly competitive annual event. The entire club will be cheering them on.

The racing program was kept short and fun with 12m and 25m swims before we launched into the much-loved Christmas relays. The Parents and Kids relays once again showcased the competitive streak of our swimming mums and dads — thank you for getting involved and making it memorable. The night wrapped up with energetic kids relays and the famous Ice Brick Challenge, where teams raced to finish with the heaviest block of ice.

A wonderful way to end the year — well done, Cannons!
