Bottom attended the University of Southern California (USC), where he was an All-American swimmer for the USC Trojans swimming and diving team from 1974 to 1977.
He won nine U.S. national championships between 1974 and 1980.
He was also a part of the team that set the new 4×100-meter freestyle relay world record on September 1, 1974.
His younger brother, Mike Bottom, also swam at USC where he was a three-time All-American (1975–77); Mike is currently one of the world's top sprint coaches and coaches the University of Michigan swim team.
