SMS gives awards annually for the
categories shown below. Nominations and Awards are
granted by a SMS membership voting process, and a point gathering
process. The vote is
typically held at the SMS LCM Championship Meet (around August). Mail-in nominations and votes are accepted.
SMS Outstanding Swimmer Award Outstanding Swimmer goes to the highest Top 10 point getter in each gender with the rule that a swimmer may receive Outstanding Swimmer only once in each age group. If the Top point getter has already won in an age group then the award goes to the next swimmer in line. Criteria for the Outstanding Swimmer Award was voted on in 2004. It was decided that USMS Top 10 scoring would be like a swimming meet. (11,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1). The person with the most points by gender would get the award, unless he or she had already won the award in the same age group, in which case the award would go to the next eligible high point winner. |
