Phillips won a total of six medals in major international championships, including the FINA World Championships, Pan American Games and Commonwealth Games.
As a 17-year-old at the 1971 Pan American Games in Cali, Colombia, Phillips won silver medals as a member of the second-place Canadian teams in the 4x100-metre freestyle and 4x200-metre freestyle relay events. The following year, he represented Canada at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany, where he competed in three events.

In 1973, he won a bronze medal swimming for the Canadian team in the men's 4×100-metre medley relay at the 1973 World Aquatics Championships in Belgrade. In his final international appearance at the 1974 British Commonwealth Games in Christchurch, New Zealand, he won a gold medal in the 4×100-metre freestyle relay with teammates Bruce Robertson, Gary MacDonald and Ian MacKenzie, and another gold in the 4x100-metre medley relay with Robertson, Steve Pickell and William Mahony. Individually, he also won a bronze in the men's 100-metre freestyle.
