Southside Seals taking nominations for swimmers

Nominations are now open for the 2003-2004 Fayette County Swimmer of the Year and the Fayette County Swimming Hall of Fame. These awards are sponsored by the Southside Seals Masters Swim Team to promote the sport of swimming in our county.

The Fayette County Swimmer of the Year is awarded annually to the most outstanding male and female swimmers for the previous year. 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.

The selection of the outstanding swimmers of the year 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.

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 an award plaque and are listed on a master plaque displayed at the home pool of the Southside Seals. No more that four individuals can be elected to the hall in any year.

All nominations must be received by April 30 and the honorees will be announced by May 15.
