It’s been another big week for the Cannonvale Cannons, with new club records, a senior swimmers’ dinner, and the first distance night of the season.
First, we’d like to congratulate Tyler Bennett (13 years), who set a new record in the 25 m Freestyle with 12.52 seconds, and Tora Delac (14 years), who broke the 50 m Freestyle record in 27.83 seconds.
Our annual Senior Swimmer Dinner was held this week — a special evening for our high-school swimmers and coaches. A huge thank-you to Hog’s Breath Café Airlie Beach for their generous support; the food and service were fantastic. This long-standing tradition is all about team bonding — sharing a meal, playing games, and farewelling our Year 12 swimmers. This year, the evening was held in honour of Tiana Bell, who has been a proud Cannon since the age of five.
The Cannons also hosted their first Distance Night of the season, giving swimmers the opportunity to “swim up” from their current upgrade level, step outside their comfort zone, and take on new challenges.
Our weekly presentations saw Jax Eaves named this week’s lucky chocolate recipient, clocking closest-to-time with only 0.02 seconds difference on his 25 m Butterfly.
We also presented upgrades to the following swimmers: Faithlyn Trotter to 100 m Freestyle, our newest Cannon Olive Hounsell to 50 m in all strokes, Wilson Hounsell to 100 m Freestyle, Asher Springbett to 50 m Freestyle, and Lucas Korosec to 400 m Freestyle.
Finally, 42 Cannons competed at the Whitsunday Swimming Club Transition Meet in Proserpine over the weekend — full results will be shared in next week’s report.
