Now Accepting 2014 Excellence in Aquatics Award (SMED) Submissions!
We are proud to announce the opening of the 2014 Excellence in Aquatics Award Submissions!
Determination. Innovation. Excellence.
As you may know, we held the inaugural Excellence in Aquatics Award (SMED) in 2013. At the 2013 National Athletic Trainers Association meeting in Las Vegas, we announced Eric Sugarman and the Minnesota Vikings Athletic Training Staff as the first official winners for the Rehabilitation of Adrian Peterson. We are excited to officially open up submissions for 2014 to anyone who has an exceptional case study using a HydroWorx pool for sports medicine!
The 2014 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.
