In 2012, the Board of Governors of the Fairfield County Swimming League voted to recognize the lifelong commitment of a beloved diving coach, who had recently passed away, by establishing the Jon Hahnfeldt Award. This will be awarded to “a person who has been an important advocate of, or who has been extraordinarily important to, the sport of diving in Fairfield County.” The nominations for this award will come from FCSL diving coaches, swim coaches, divers, or any member of the FCSL diving community. The nominations will be reviewed by a committee consisting of the Diving Coaches’ Representative, the Vice President of Diving, and a person selected by Maria Coomaraswamy Falkenstein to represent her on the committee.
