The award is open to swimmers that are residents of Fayette County or members of USS, high school, and recreation teams that are based in Fayette County.

Selection is based on the accomplishments of those swimmers in the pool, classroom and community. The winners of the awards receive a plaque and their names are added to a master plaque displayed at the home pool of the Southside Seals, sponsoring organization.

The Fayette County Swimming Hall Of Fame recognizes lifetime achievement by swimmers and coaches as residents of Fayette County or as members of a Fayette County based team. Members of the hall receive a award plaque and are listed on a plaque displayed at the home pool of the Southside Seals. No more than four individuals can be elected to the hall in any year.

Awards are selected by a five-person committee consisting of representatives of the Southside Seals, local USS, recreation, and High School teams. The winners will be notified in late June with the awards to be presented in early July.
