During the 2015 summer season, there was no one as technically perfect and strategically savvy as the USA’s Jordan Wilimovsky, who was named Swimming World Magazine’s Male Open Water Swimmer of the Year. The 21-year-old handily beat deeply talented fields in the 10K marathon swims at both the USA Swimming national champions and at the FINA World Championships. Then in September, he added the RCP Tiburon Mile title to his list of accomplishments. (See stories, pages 18, 21 and 30.) [PHOTO BY ELLIOT KARLAN]
