More Press for Cullen Jones!
I don’t know if this story actually aired on the Today Show or not, but it’s a featured headline right now and that’s great too!
The Today Show website put the spotlight on Cullen’s efforts to raise swimming awareness in the black community.
If you’re a long time reader of the Swim Aids, then you know I make my fair share of stereotypical jokes about black people swimming. I would like to say, again, that I can swim; I just don’t, unless I have to. Nawmean? However, I will continue to make jokes. It’s just too irresistable; the joke pool is so full!
The feature also calls attention to Cullen and Maritza Correia’s joint documentary (glad those two are back on, being one of our fave swim couples and all) about the trails black swimmers blaze on their way to the top of the sport.
All in all, nice read. Don’t take my word for it, though. Read for yourself.
My fellow Swim Aids informed me last week that Kaitlin Sandeno and Brendan Hansen were supposed to appear on the Today Show tomorrow (err, today), Tuesday’s show. No confirmation of that just yet, but that’s what led me to the Today Show website in the first place, where I was greeted with the CJ feature.
See, putzing around on the internet actually can be productive!
If Miss Kaitlin and B-Han really are on the show, video will be forthcoming.

I am really happy Cullen is getting all this press! I think what he stands for is very admirable! But I really wish Kaitlin and Brendan were on! I went to bed around 3, so there was no way in hell I was getting up at 6 to watch it here! Now I am set on finding that video!!!!!
Good find, Carrie! When you set your mind to do something, look out world!
