Service to Marathon Swimming Award
The Service to Marathon Swimming Award (or the Streeter Award for Service to Marathon Swimming) is an award given by the Marathon Swimmers Federation for Outstanding Service to the Sport of Marathon Swimming as part of its MSF Global Marathon Swimming Awards.
This award is meant to hono(u)r individuals who have selflessly given their time and energy to advance, enrich, and support the sport of marathon swimming. It is meant to hono(u)r the individuals who demonstrate that no "solo swim" is truly solo - the crew members, kayakers, pilots, observers, race directors, volunteers, and administrators who facilitate the fulfillment of swimmers' dreams. It is meant to hono(u)r the individuals whose passion keeps the spirit of the sport alive and vibrant.
