The Recognition and Awards Committee annually presents the Fitness Award to USMS-registered individuals and organizations demonstrating outstanding contribution to fitness activities within USMS. Fitness Award nominee is someone who by their example both passively and actively encourages others to seek fitness through swimming as a lifestyle (competition is not required). The individual provides encouragement through social interaction in and out of the water to keep people involved in a fitness lifestyle within their swimming community.

Please use the provided nomination form and electronic submissions are encouraged. Submit and direct any questions about the Fitness Award to the Chair of the Recognition and Awards Committee.
