Each year Local Swimming Committees have the opportunity to select a recipient for the Outstanding Service Award. This award, sponsored by ConocoPhillips, is presented to a volunteer in each LSC in recognition of service to swimming. Recipients of the Outstanding Service Award are selected by the LSC and receive the award and an Outstanding Service Award pin.
Wisconsin Swimming is now accepting nominations for this year’s Outstanding Service Award recipient and invites the submission of nominations from its membership.
