High Resolution“It’s an initiative that I started with in 2008 right after I won a gold medal. I almost drowned as a child and, sixteen years later, I became an Olympic gold medalist. The USA Swimming Foundation approached me and told me about the drowning rates, and I thought, ‘it can’t be this bad.’ Thinking about all those people who made fun of me when I learned how to swim, I could relate to it. It’s a big problem in the U.S., and especially in the African American community. I’ve been with “Make a Splash” for the past four years and we’ve reached over one million kids.”
-Cullen Jones on his involvement with the “Make a Splash” campaign, as told to Teen Vogue.
