Cullen Jones led a swim clinic yesterday in Reno with Rowdy Gaines and Jason Lezak. They were in Reno to participate in a fundraiser at Peppermill Resort Spa Casino. After their “Evening with the Olympians,” the swimmers spent an afternoon with the future.

The swimming greats came face to face with fear and fought back. Hopefully, they made as big an impact on the children in the pool as they did on the community of Reno at large in the fundraiser. The goal was to raise money to build a better swim facility. The old building where they taught the children was in disrepair.

It’s nice to see Cullen continue on his mission to teach the world to swim. That he brings in reinforcement is even better.
