The Hudsies recognize individuals who complete the most number of events, both annually and historically, as well as the Rookies of the Year.Steve Faulkner, a member of the Lake Ontario Swim Team (L.O.S.T.) from Ontario, Canada competed in the most (maximum) number of events in 2012: 8 times he crossed the border to swim in New York City.
Capri Djatiasmoro, Wade Lambert, and Zachary Chang were also recognized for their participation in 6 NYC Swim events.
Sri Krishna Kilrau, George Glum, and Yusuf Osmani were recognized as Rookies of the Year.
