Johnson led the girls to three county championships and two undefeated seasons. With the help of Johnson, five of his girls advanced to the individual state meet qualifiers, with four of them qualifying for the state finals. In his two years working with the boys squad, he helped two of them advance to the individual state meet qualifiers.

During his undergraduate time at St. Bonaventure, Johnson was one the top swimmers in program history.
