Uytengsu joined the swimming team of the University of Southern California (USC) on his first year at the institution.

He was coached by Peter Daland during his stay with the USC team.^[7] He also represented the Philippines in international competitions^[3] as part of the national swimming team, including the team that competed at the 1981 Southeast Asian Games.^[7]

Uytengsu also became involved in triathlon, doing his first race in 1984 and competed intermittently until the mid 1990s when he decided to take the sport more seriously.
