The Adolph Kiefer National Safety Award is presented annually to an outstanding individual or organization that has made a significant contribution to safe swimming in the United States by the Operational Risk Committee (formerly Safety Education Committee). All LSC Safety Chairs and the Operational Risk Committee will have the opportunity to vote on the submitted nominations. The Award will be presented at the USA Swimming House of Delegates meeting during the annual convention.
We encourage you to nominate any individual or organization that has had an impact on safety in your city, state, swim club, LSC or nationally.
