Florida LMSC Leather Lung Awards

Description

The first Leather Lung Awards were presented at our 4th Annual Awards Social in 2005. This award is meant to encourage swimmers to participate in meets and events, regardless of their speed or ranking, and recognizes them for their personal accomplishments. The award promotes versatility and fitness for swimmers and provides additional motivation to participate in events.

Criteria

The swimmer must be a registered Florida LMSC swimmer, must swim all events in USMS sanctioned or USMS recognized events, and must complete ALL 18 events in SCY or SCM, or ALL 17 events in LCM, or ALL five USMS Postal Championships during a single season. The only splits permitted are leadoff swims on relays. A swimmer may receive more than one Leather Lung Award per year.
