The 2018 Golden Goggle Awards took place on November 19 at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel in New York City, and they benefit the USA Swimming Foundation. At this year’s ceremony, Wilimovsky was nominated for the coveted “Male Athlete of the Year” award, along with fellow swimmers Chase Kalisz and Ryan Murphy.

This past summer, Wilimovsky was the most decorated male American swimmer at the Pan Pacs in terms of individual medals, where he won two gold medals (in the men’s 1,500 meter freestyle and the 10K open water race) and one silver medal in the men’s 800 meter freestyle (right behind fellow American swimmer Zane Grothe).
