Reason: While competing at the 2013 World Dwarf Games in Lansing, MI, United States of America, he swam against an Australian who was part of his country's Para swimming team. The Australian athlete's parents suggested to Shattuck's parents that they find out what Para swimming opportunities were available in the United States of America. "Swimming was not on the radar at all when I was growing up. I loved swimming, not necessarily racing, just playing around. I played soccer and wrestled in high school, and swimming was something where an opportunity happened and I went for it."
