The meet is named in honour of Lemon, who was very active in all aspects of the sport of artistic swimming, serving as a swimmer, coach, judge, administrator and a parent of an artistic swimmer. Swimmers celebrate her legacy to the sport at this meet.
She was inducted into the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame in 1996.
