Eight of our dedicated athletes travelled to compete at the Charters Towers Amateur Swimming Club Long Course Meet over the weekend, delivering strong performances and plenty of personal bests. Congratulations to Bonnie and Gracie Crichton, Thomas Ganter, Blaire, Indigo, Koa and Ruby Harland, and Nelson Malady for representing the club so proudly. The team showed great determination across their events, with notable PBs and podium finishes reflecting the hard work put in at training.
Back home, Wednesday's Club Night was buzzing with more than 50 swimmers in the pool and a fantastic turnout of new families taking part in our Come and Try offer. It’s always exciting to see fresh faces join the Cannons family, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back next week.
Upgrades were presented to Brooklyn Congoo, Isabelle Johnston, and Hamilton Anflous, while a special mention goes to Celeste Orenshaw, who earned her upgrade to the 1500m Freestyle. After completing an impressive 800m at Distance Night, Celeste skipped the 800m milestone entirely — a huge achievement for a young swimmer.
The Chocolate Award for the biggest personal best went to Roxy Groom, who shaved 5.39 seconds off her 25m Backstroke. This week’s Coaches Awards were shared between Tyler Bennet for his powerful 25m Freestyle and Alex Trefz for his great effort in the 25m Backstroke.
The Cannons now gear up for a busy month ahead, with four consecutive weekends of competition, including the Gardens Long Course in Townsville, the Hamilton Island Triathlon, the GBR Carnival in Mackay, and the Bowen Long Course Carnival.
Go Cannons!
