Strong Swimmer Award Recipients

Originally called, “Going the Extra Yard” award, the Strong Swimmer Award was renamed in honor of the first recipient, Doug Strong of Bloomington, IN. This award is based on total points earned by swimming in GRIN sanctioned or recognized meets and swimming long distance and difficult events. Those events earning points are: 400/500(1), 800/1000(2), 1500/1650(3) (free events with meters/yards respectively), 200 Fly (3) and 400 IM(4). The swimmer must also be registered in Indiana and participate in at least two of the above referenced meets during a calendar year. The highest points amassed will be the winner with postal events (1 pt. for participation per event) being the tie breaker.
