Memorial Service for FGC Official Mike Fish

FGC Swim Official, Mike Fish dies in a tragic accident.

A loved, appreciated and valuable member of the swim officiating community in our state is no longer with us.  Florida Gold Coast Official Mike Fish (40 years old) passed away this week after succumbing to injuries sustained when he was struck by a car while riding his bicycle in Coral Springs.  Mike had been a USA Swimming official for seven years, both here in Florida and Albany, New York, and was a valued member of our greater swimming community.

The Fish family recently moved to Florida and many of you probably know of Kathy and Mike’s dedication to both YMCA and USA Swimming here in Florida.  They both offered their expertise and help during our 2010 FHSAA High School State Championships in Orlando, and they have been tireless volunteers at swim meets and training new swim officials in both Florida Swimming and Florida Gold Coast Swimming LSCs.

Our thoughts and prayers go to his wife Kathy, children Hannah and Jared and the entire YBC swim team family.
