The Scottish Swimming Hall of Fame, launched in 2010 by Scottish Swimming, is an accolade (and virtual platform) to recognize and celebrate the lifetime achievements of memorable Scottish athletes in all fields of aquatic sports. It is an event that takes place in a Commonwealth Games year, with the ceremony held at the annual awards dinner.[1]
Nominations can be made by Clubs, Districts, SASA Life Members, Board, Council or National Committees. Nominees should contain full details of their aquatic career.
Nominees must have been an athlete. Nominees must have retired from International Competition for at least two years in the Discipline for which they are being nominated (not including Masters Events).
Nominees should have achieved one of the following standards. However, achievement of one of the following standards is not a guarantee of an automatic nomination or of a nomination being accepted.
When nominations are being considered medalists from individual events are recognized ahead of relay medalists.
The inaugural event was held at the Glasgow Science Centre in September 2010.[2]
