Nine dedicated swimmers from the Cannonvale Cannons Swimming Club travelled to Mackay over the weekend to compete in the Pioneer Short Course Transition Meet at the ARC. Representing the club were Ella Bounden, Jax Clayworth, Zane Clayworth, Evelyn Doherty, Thomas Ganter, Lucas Korosec, Ruby Lawson, Matilda Nicholes, and Celeste Orenshaw.
Several swimmers delivered standout performances, with Ella Bounden, Lucas Korosec, Ruby Lawson, Matilda Nicholes, and Celeste Orenshaw achieving personal bests in the majority of their events. A special mention goes to Ruby Lawson, who recorded PBs in all her events—an exceptional effort that reflects her hard work and determination.
The 100IM event also brought rewards for three of our athletes, with Jax Clayworth, Zane Clayworth, and Lucas Korosec each earning cash prizes for their impressive swims.
In other club news, coaches Mark Erickson and Raylene Rasmussen, along with swimmer Nelson Malady, travelled north to Townsville for the TOWSA Open Water Strand Swim. They were joined by former Cannonvale swimmer Jacob Bell, who now resides in Townsville where he is attending university.
Mark, Raylene, and Jacob all took on the challenging 4KM event, while Nelson competed in the 2KM swim. Congratulations to Jacob, who was the first swimmer to cross the finish line in the 4KM event—a remarkable achievement. This swim served as a pre-qualifying event for the upcoming Townsville to Magnetic Island swim, and we’re proud to report that all four Cannon representatives successfully met their qualifying times.
Well done to all our swimmers and coaches for representing the Cannonvale Cannons with pride and passion, both in the pool and out in open water.
