While many of the Cannonvale Cannons had a break from swim training over Christmas, there was a dedicated crew who have kept up their swim fitness. Every afternoon, swimmers enjoyed a blend of fitness and fun during training sessions.
The coaches would like to commend Koa Harland, Ruby Harland, Tate Harland, Mason Harland, Harris Delac, Tora Delac, Declan Dichieria and Maeve Dichieria, Isaac Pisaniello and Isabella Pisaniello, Zane Clayworth and Jax Clayworth for consistently attending swim training and trying their best.
Zach Trefz has been one of the top trainers over the past few weeks. He puts in a mighty effort in every set. On Friday afternoon, swimmers enjoyed a game of water polo. Senior ‘stand out’ players were Lucas O’ Toole, Tora Delac, Connor Lee, Austin Edwards-Bland, Mason Harland and Jax Clayworth. Not to be out done, the junior top performers were Declan Dichiera, Ruby Harland, Koa Harland and Andie Reynolds.
This week, swimmers kickstart 2023. The coaches, Ken Crittenden and Mark Erickson are very excited that 20 swimmers have signed up to do a goal setting workshop and junior swimmers have signed up to participate in a dive workshop.
The coaches are also impressed that so many swimmers are keen to improve their cardiovascular fitness and build their endurance and muscle strength. Swimming is a great workout because you need to move your whole body against the resistance of the water. It tones muscles and builds strength. Some swimmers train for fitness and fun and others train for competition.
The Cannonvale Cannons Swimming Club resumes Club Nights from January 11 and the first carnival of the season will be held in Ayr on January 14. New swimmers and their families are welcome to come and try club swimming.
