Notes:

1.     Coach or swimmer must apply for the award

2.     Swimmer need not attend any Can-Am Series meet, merely qualify for any of the meets.  A maximum of 1 point awarded in this category.

3.     A single swim only earns the highest achievement accomplished with that result. (E.g., a World Record in a non-Paralympic event would obviously also be a Pan-American Record in a non-Paralympic event and would be awarded 5 points vice 8 points.)

4.     If no swimmer earns any points, the award is not issued. If swimmers should tie with points, awards should be presented to both.
