William Guiler began swimming at the age of 5 simply because his parents believed strongly in learning the life skill of swimming. The lessons had the unintentional consequence of him falling in love with the sport.

At the age of 14, he was one of just a few swimmers in the entire club chosen for a pre-Olympic training program. His best events consist of the 200, 400/500, 1000, 1500/1650  meter/yard freestyle. 

William moved to Iowa two years ago to pursue a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Iowa.
