President’s Challenge
The President’s Challenge Trophy is awarded to the winner of the President’s Race.
In the 1994/95 season the then President, Chris Gray, thought that the prestige of the Jon Facey Challenge Trophy should be extended to encompass the club’s younger swimmers.
Subsequently, Chris donated a trophy called the President’s Trophy. The trophy was to be organised along the same lines as the Jon Facey Challenge Trophy but with 3 major restrictions.
- The race was to be a 50mFS sprint,
- the age restriction was 12 years and under, and
- the swimmer cannot compete for both the Jon Facey and President’s Challenge trophies.
