Albert Marcus Wiggins Jr. (May 27, 1935 – June 1, 2011) was the first American swimmer to win Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) national championships in three strokes: butterfly, backstroke and freestyle.

[2] Wiggins was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the son of a vice president of Westinghouse Air Brake Company.

He attended Allderdice High School and then Ohio State University, where he trained under the 1952 Olympic coach Mike Peppe.

Although he was tall and well-built, Wiggins was shortsighted from a young age and wore glasses; he therefore avoided sports requiring physical contact and chose swimming instead.

He was married, but divorced in the late 1970s and remarried Hollis Wiggins, a colleague from Reed Smith Shaw & McClay.
