I hereby attest to her skills in this sport
"Dar constancia", as you know, means to certify or record. The purpose of the statement is to officialize the training. The literal translation is:
'her skills in this sport are hereby certified'.
Both 'hereby' and 'certify' are important, IMO.
The trick is to fit it into your context. Your text is in the first person, making the phrase ungrammatical.

Acknowledge proficiency in this area
Hi Yvonne,
To me, "constancia" is much simpler. It simply acknowledges or gives proof of something. You often see it on certificates or diplomas. I would say it's more like "by means of the following, acknowledge that he/she/the person is proficient in this sport". Or, "the following acknowledges proficiency in . . ."

Spanish term (edited):
por lo cual se da constancia de sus capacidades en esta disciplina
thereby attesting to her swimming abilities
The original clearly indicates that it is her performance in, and successful completion of, the swimming classes that attest to her abilities, and not the statement of the writer of the letter. Use of the first-person “I” is therefore inappropiate here.
