Wilson's smiling face and cheerful personality help him share his passion for swimming with each of his students and his fellow instructors. Now a Physical Therapy student enrolled at the BMCC, he swam competitively at George Washington High School, where he excelled as a backstroker and on his school's relays. As a teacher, Wilson strives to guide his students to work with the water, not against it, so that swimming becomes not a struggle but an exercise in harmony with the elements.
