The US Men's 4x100 Olympic relay team of Phelps, Weber-Gale, Jones and Lezak reclaimed the event for the US and set a new world record by completing the 400 metres in 3:08.24.
The race was insanely intense and nothing was sure until the final touch. Cullen told reporters that he was so excited he almost fell in the water. Phelps and Weber-Gale were in a state of uncontrollable excitement and Lezak had just completed the all time fastest split of 46.06.
Back to Cullen Jones, and nothing against any of the other relay swimmers.
There is a stark difference between the yearly drowning rates of minorities in the US compared to white children and that is where Cullen is focusing his efforts.
Cullen is already involved in Make A Splash, a USA Swimming organization dedicated to promoting water safety. Jones dreams of creating his own initiave called "The Cullen Jones Diversity Tour" where he will be connecting with children and youth with the goal of educating them about the importance of swimming and motivating them to learn this important survival skill.
No doubt, the exposure Jones is getting from his successes in swimming along with his charismatic personality, will allow him to continue making an impact on the lives of children and parents who otherwise would not realize the importance of learning to swim.
