To Make a Splash and Cullen Jones, I would like to take the time to applaud your passion and commitment to the overwhelming need to draw national attention to the issue of reducing the number of unintentional drownings among children of color. It is a big concern in the Ft. lauderdale area and we are looking at ways of bringing people together for the purpose of defining a program that will begin the process of addressing this national crisis. I would like to know if you are planning on an event in Browrd County in the near future and if so when do you anticipate that would be? It is my hope that we will see you soon. Also if there is anything we can do to help facilitate this please let me know. Thanks again for what you do.

What is Make a Splash with Cullen Jones?


Olympic Gold Medalist Cullen Jones has joined forces with the USA Swimming Foundation and ConocoPhillips in an effort to reduce drowning statistics among minority youth. Jones will spread the message with a six-city event series.
Motivated by the fact that African-American children drown at a rate almost three times higher than Caucasian children in similar age groups, Jones, the first African-American male to hold a world record in swimming, is using his fame to raise awareness on the issue and ensure more kids learn to swim, especially in urban communities. As primary spokesman for the USA Swimming Foundation's Make a Splash initiative, Jones will tour the country promoting the availability of low-to-no-cost swimming lessons to give all kids access to life-saving swimming skills, regardless of their ethnic or economic background.
