The 2015 Excellence in Aquatics Award (SMED)

Recognizing those who achieve exceptional rehabilitation results through the use of advanced water therapy.

Determination. Innovation. Excellence.

 

Sports fans everywhere love a good comeback story. The spirit of the game is epitomized by an athlete's triumph just months after recovering from a devastating injury. Behind these great comeback stories are the athletic trainers and medical staff who also sacrificed to ensure these athletes and teams would reach their goals.

 

The 2015 Excellence in Aquatics Award will recognize professionals who, despite all odds, garnered superior rehabilitation results through innovative, and sometimes unconventional, methods. Eligible pioneers rely on aquatics as a medium to help achieve exceptional results. 

The call for submissions is now closed.
