Rick and Jean Houghton and Laurie and Nancy Meyer were mainstays of the club organization for many years, and developed the Meyer Trophy for boys the Houghton Trophy for girls in 1972 in order to give swimmers too young to compete for the Butler Trophy a major trophy to aim for.
These trophies are awarded to the male and female swimmers who achieve the best swimming performance according to the FINA international point score. Swimmers must be 13 years or 14 years at 1st July from the previous season.
Swims must be completed at an official FINA sanctioned long course meet in an Olympic event. The Performance Trophy By-Laws were updated October 2018 for the 2018/2019 season, to reflect Age group changes made by Swimming Victoria.
