Congratulations to James McGrath and Danielle Sheppard, who have both achieved their Level 5 Swim Official certification — an outstanding accomplishment and a major milestone in the sport of swimming.
Level 5 certification represents the highest level of officiating within competitive swimming and reflects years of dedication, experience, leadership, and commitment to ensuring fair and successful competition. This achievement highlights not only their deep knowledge of the sport, but also their continued passion for supporting athletes and the swimming community.
James and Danielle are invaluable contributors to our Pickering Swim Club community, not only supporting their own swimmers in the sport, but also volunteering their time on our Board of Directors — with James serving as President and Danielle as Meet Manager — helping lead our home meets, and officiating at competitions throughout our region and across the province.
Congratulations, James and Danielle, on this well-earned achievement, and thank you for all that you do for the swimming community and for our club!
If you see them on deck, please congratulate them on those beautiful new blue pins!
