These awards are for the swimmers who won their age group at the Club championships. For more information about Club championships click here.
The winners receive a gold medallion or similar, as determined by the Committee each year.
There are six perpetual trophies, one for each stroke plus an open water swimmer. The swimmer who achieves the highest placement in each stroke at national or NSW state or country level receives the trophy. The recipient for each stroke will be selected based on the following objective criteria:
Age is not a barrier to this award, for example a 10 year may achieve higher placing than an older swimmer in the same stroke, ie, even if the older swimmer has a faster time it is the placing that determines the recipient.
Example: if a 10 yr old placed 10th in the 50 free at State Age and a 15 yr old placed 12th in the 50 free at at State Age, the 10 year old would win the award.
The President alone selects a club member that they feel has contributed above and beyond to the club’s function, aims, and aspirations.
These perpetual trophies are awarded to the male and female winners of the Club improvement point score in each age group. For more information about the point score click here.
