The Golden Goggle Awards, presented by the USA Swimming Foundation, is an awards ceremony which recognizes and honors the accomplishments of swimmers who represented the United States, that is USA Swimming National Team members, over the last year.[1] The awards were established in 2004 with the first awards ceremony held in November of the same year in New York City.[2] There are eight main categories: Breakout Performer of the Year, Coach of the Year, Perseverance Award, Relay Performance of the Year, Male Race of the Year, Female Race of the Year, Male Athlete of the Year, and Female Athlete of the Year.[3] Nominees in each category are announced in advance of the awards ceremony and recipients of each award are revealed at the ceremony itself.[4][5] Winners for each award are determined by a selection panel and fan votes.[6] The awards ceremony serves as a fundraiser for the foundation, with seats and tables available for purchase and proceeds going to the foundation and other humanitarian efforts such as aid relief for those affected by Hurricane Katrina.[7] The dress code for attendees is black tie.[2] Localities hosting the annual ceremony vary and include cities such as New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami.[3]
