The Dorothy "Dot" Donnelly Colonies Zone Service Award


The purpose of this award is to recognize and honor swimmers in the Colonies Zone who exemplify the spirit of Dorothy Donnelly in their love of participation in the sport and their work to further Masters Swimming in their LMSC.

One person each year will receive this award. Any Masters swimmer in the Colonies Zone may nominate someone from the Zone. Nominators fill out a form giving details of the nominee’s work. (Click here for the form.)  A selection committee, appointed by the Zone Representative (or by the Zone members at the annual Zone meeting), will determine the award winner. The award will be presented at the Zone meeting at the USMS Convention (or at the Zone Championship Meet).
