Come and Try Cannons’ Club Nights

It is the start of the swim season and the Cannonvale Cannons would like to encourage children to come along to a Club Night to see what club swimming is all about.  

Club Nights are held on Wednesdays from 5pm, with swimmers able to try 12-metre or 25-metre when they first start.

As they progress, they can make their way towards longer swims.

On Wednesday night, the Cannons honoured all the fathers and held a Father’s Day raffle.  Coach, Mark Erickson was very surprised that he won the raffle!  A big thank to the Davies’ family for cooking the barbecue.

The club presented Isabella Pisaniello with an Upgrade Certificate.  Tora and Harris Delac were presented with the Chocolate Awards for the best personal bests.  Congratulations to Gracie Laguna for winning the Swim Star Award.  

Top performers on Wednesday night include Indi Smith who swam a massive 19.72sec PB in her 100m IM.  

Don Algie swam a super 200-metre Freestyle in 3.01.87 which was a 13.76 second personal best (PB).  James Davies and Celeste Orenshaw swam extremely well, taking over two seconds off the majority of their races.  

Lucas Korosec swam a mighty 25m Butterfly in a time of 35.42s which was a 4 second PB.  Lily Maher and her brother, Owen both swam fantastic times in their Freestyle events taking over one second off their previous best time.  Matilda Nicholes swam an awesome 50-metre Freestyle in 39.71 seconds.  

Isabella Pisaniello made 100-metre Butterfly look easy, in a time of 2.04.64.  Millah Walker swam impressive times in her Freestyle and Backstroke races.
