After a storied swim career at Edison, Tom Shields (2009) attended the University of California, Berkeley, graduating with an undergraduate degree in Religious Studies in 2013. While at Cal, Tom’s individual efforts helped his team win the NCAA Championship for the first time in 31 years, going back-to-back in 2011 and 2012. He is a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, earning his medals from his efforts on the 400-medley relay in Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo. He was heavily involved in building the first ever swimming sports league, the International Swim League, and co-founded the first ever private international athlete representative network called the International Swimmer’s Alliance.
