Episode Summary: Swimming  has always been something that the black culture can do. Trust me, I've been to the Olympics. Team Nigeria, Team South Africa. It's a problem in the U.S. And it starts with the culture. We have to stop saying we don't swim. Yes. We. Do.  Olympic gold-medal winning swimmer Cullen Jones' journey into the sport started with a near drowning when he was five-years old. The experience left him terrified of deep water – as soon as he couldn't touch the floor he would panic. But his mother was adamant that her son learn how to swim and with incredible determination and against a lot of odds, Cullen  became one of the fastest in the world. In this episode, Cullen takes us through his journey from being a kid scared to jump into the pool to facing racism at swim meets and going on to break a world record in swimming.  He tells us about Brad the instructor who taught him to love swimming and about the time Serena Williams gave him a shout of encouragement before a big race. Cullen also gets candid about the barriers he faced as an African American swimmer, what he is doing now to change the swimming narrative in the Black community, and his mission to ensure underserved communities learn the life-saving skill of swimming. About Cullen Jones:Cullen Jones is a four time Olympic medalist and the first African American to break a world record in swimming. As a member of Team USA, he made history by helping break world records and winning gold in the 4x100m freestyle relay at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in what many say was the most exciting race in Olympic History.

It's almost time for the Summer Olympics to take over the sports world, as it does every four years. The opening ceremonies are July 26th in Paris. And so for the first time in the three seasons of “Sports Legends of the Carolinas,” we went poolside to have a a candid conversation with Olympic swimmer and two-time gold medalist Cullen Jones. Formerly a star college swimmer at N.C. State, Jones previewed the Paris swimming competition, talked about his own experiences in the Olympics and told us his origin story as to how he became one of a handful of African-American swimmers to succeed in the water at the sport's highest levels. Jones owns both two gold medals and two silver medals from the Olympics, where he competed for Team USA in 2008 in Beijing and 2012 in London. He also said the most important lessons from his athletic career came not during his record-setting wins, but from his losses. "Losing is great," he said at one point. Now 40 years old, Jones lives in Charlotte with his wife and their five-year-old son. Our interview came at Life Time's fitness center in Charlotte, and that excellent facility also let us borrow one of its several pools for our photo session. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mike Gunning has been a tireless advocate for diversity and inclusion, constantly challenging the status quo. In this episode, we explore Gunning's personal journey through the sport, touching on the unique challenges he faced as a minority in a field traditionally under-represented by people of color. He opens up about his experiences, from dealing with stereotypes to finding his place in his squad, and how he navigated these hurdles to become an inspiration for many.

In a larger context, we look at the importance of representation in media, specifically discussing the upcoming Disney film, The Little Mermaid, where Ariel is cast as black. Gunning's passion for inclusivity extends to his work with Speedo United, a company making strides in advocating for diversity and pride.

Olympic Champion and 4-time Olympic medalist Cullen Jones is the new philanthropic sales manager for Speedo USA, his longtime partner.  Cullen’s mission is very focused. Under the title and message SPEEDO POOL TOGETHER, Speedo USA and Cullen are helping to get swimmers and swim teams back in the water safely during this challenging period in swimming history. HOW IT WORKS: This March is the month that Speedo invites you to receive 25% off everything on their website. MARCH 1ST VISIT: speedousa.com/speedo-pool-together On that webpage select where you would like the donation from Speedo to go. You can select a Swim team or The Boys and Girls Club of America. The choice is yours!  Shop your gear with the 25% discount automatically applied at checkout- no promo code is required! At the end of the promotion, March 31st, Speedo will donate 10% of all sales to the selected swim teams or The Boys and Girls Club of America. Pool Together with Speedo USA. There’s never been a better time to support swimming. Why Boys & Girls Club? For over 150 years the Boys & Girls Club of America has been a stronghold of youth development. They have become a partner with Speedo as both organizations share similar values and attitudes geared towards hard work, inclusion, positivity, resilience and self-improvement. A donation to the Boys & Girls Club will go to help children who need it most. Isn’t this just another sale to get people to shop? Speedo has always looked at how to support the local swim teams in unique ways, and giving directly back to the swim teams who need it most is what triggered them to start this activation. Last September, Speedo was able to launch a similar fundraiser and was able to give back close to $20k  to swim teams/team dealers. As you know, the recent pandemic has not been good for competitive swimming.  Pools are shut down, competitions are postponed leaving a lot of us feeling like fish out of water. But fortunately, we’re competitors, and our goal is to win—and that’s exactly what the Speedo USA “POOL TOGETHER’ fundraiser is all about.  The more we shop, the more we can help get our sport back up and running. Aside from the 25% and 10% give back, any other incentives for swimmers and swim teams to participate in this fundraiser? Yes, the sponsored team with the most donations will be photographed by a local photographer showcasing their favorite Speedo products purchased during the fundraiser. This will culminate in a digital event wherein the winning team will be featured on-site and will be awarded a 24 hour takeover of Speedo's social channels, plus there will be a prize box with sweet swag. Speedo USA is a SwimSwam partner.  SWIMSWAM PODCAST LINKS Click here to listen and subscribe on Spotify Click here to listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts Click here to listen and subscribe on Podbean Click here to listen and subscribe on Google Click here to listen and subscribe on YouTube Click here to listen and subscribe on Listen Notes Click here to listen and subscribe on Stitcher Click here to listen and subscribe on iHeartRadio Click here to listen and subscribe on Amazon Click here to listen and subscribe on Pandora Music: Otis McDonald www.otismacmusic.com

We welcome Olympic Champion and Long-time friend of mine, Cullen Jones to the show to discuss the incredible work he is doing today in regards to diversifying the sport of swimming, along with his Make-A-Splash foundation that empowers black children across the United States to learn to swim. In addition to the many things he has going on today, Cullen take us back to where the competitor in him was born within his swimming career, how he handled the pressure of assisting Michael Phelps to his 8-Gold Medal haul in Beijing, and why he has his "scrappy" nature to thank for all of his successes.  Through the course of the interview Cullen provides some great insight into the ways his passion projects turned into what today is his career (7:30); the ways in which the additional work he took on during his swimming career acted as fuel and how his role today as a father does the same thing for him in relation to his career (11:00); we also get into the topic of racial injustice and how Cullen's experiences have led him to leading the charge within USA Swimming today to be an activist for change (25:00) Feel free to follow us at career_Competitor on instagram to ge3t behind the scenes footage of the interview with Cullen. 

2021 kicks off with youth and speed. We can’t wait to share how this young man is growing our sport, encouraging kids younger and kids of lower rankings to keep at it despite what is thrown at them. We talk about the struggle with Covid and maintaining confidence throughout, and about his race and how it contributes to swimming. Nathan Adrian, Cullen Jones- better be following David as he is about to take your 50 free baton and lead the sport.

In this episode of The End of Sport Johanna is joined by Drs. Christienna D. Fryar and Matt Hodler to break down the white supremacist terrorist actions of swimmer Klete Keller in the January 6th attack against the US Capitol building and the white sport media's apologist portrayal of him. Dr. Fryar is a Lecturer in Black British History at Goldsmiths, University of London where she teaches about British colonial history, Black history, and much more, alongside researching the histories of disaster and sport. Dr. Hodler –a repeat guest on the show! - is an Assistant Professor of Sports Media & Communications at the University of Rhode Island. His research interests include racialized nationalism, gender, and international sport structures, mediated representations of sport, internet memes, and swimming. Both of them are fellow swimmers with Johanna. The impetus for this episode emerged not only due to Klete Keller's horrendous actions, but also due to the sport media and swimming community's largely apologist portrayals of Keller and his actions. Our discussion brings a much-needed critique on Keller that has been mostly absent from the media pieces about him (outside of The Nation's analysis of Keller within the IOC's history of racism). Drs. Fryar and Hodler first help Johanna situate Keller's actions within the sport of swimming, arguing against the popular and comforting idea that his behavior is a deviation from the swimming community's values posited by The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Swimming World in particular. Their discussion articulates why modern swimming has a whiteness problem that historically and currently is centered on the white community, making Keller's actions a product of US swimming, and explicitly not an aberration of it nor of Trump's followers. Importantly, Dr. Fryar explains how – like point that Dr. Kevin Dawson made in our episode with him and that other scholars have shown – white Euro-Americans have consistently made bodies of water a site of intense trauma and pain for Black swimmers, which has led directly to horrendous drowning statistics. Our ensuing discussing shows how US swimming's white supremacy is a real public health concern that Keller contributed to through his white terrorism. We then turn to analyzing the media's white apologist portrayals of Keller, such as why their focus on his mental health issues, homelessness, and his white teammates and coaches' sympathetic responses is a white tactic not actually aimed at highlighting mental health issues; rather, it is an intentional attempt to individualize Keller's actions rather than tackle the core issue of his racism, terrorism, and where it fits within the swimming community. This is clear when we compare how Keller, Ryan Lochte, and Michael Phelps have been treated for their crimes with white gloves compared to Tamir Rice and the countless other Black boys and men who have been murdered by the police for far less and even non-criminal behaviors. Dr. Fryar points to the issue that sports journalists are not trained to analyze racism, classism, and other issues as evidenced by her students' research about how the Hillsborough incident was covered by the sports media. We end the conversation by dissecting the appallingly inadequate – but perhaps not surprising – statements made by USA Swimming and to a lesser extent Team USA. We question the ‘values' that USA Swimming supposedly stands for, and what their silence regarding Keller's white supremacy means for the sport and Black swimmers. Dr. Hodler mentions the Swimmers for Change episode with Lia Neal, Cullen Jones, and Anthony Ervin as being one of the first comprehensive spotlights on the racist discrimination that swimmers of color face in the sport. This conversation is very much a continuation of our Swimming Week series of episodes from September 2020. Check them out if you would like to hear more about the sport's discriminatory foundation, such as its white supremacy with Dr. Kevin Dawson here and Dr. Hodler here! More on Dr. Fryar (including her forthcoming book!), can be found here. You can find her on Twitter too! Check out the 2 pieces she mentioned in the episode, about the economic barriers that she and countless others faced in trying to join a club swim team for The Toast, and also for Media Diversified about why we need to address the racist stereotype that Black people cannot swim in light of Simone Manual's gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

Four-time Olympic medalist, two-time Olympic champion Cullen Jones gets raw and real in this GMM takeover of the SwimSwam Podcast. Cullen has enjoyed many highs and some tough lows. In this interview Cullen shares how Coach Bob Bowman, David Marsh and his own mother called him out in brutally honest ways during one of his lows, when, frankly, his grit for training didn't match his talent. Bowman delivered his message - his wisdom - as they watched the final Cullen missed from the stands.

We sat down with 2016 Olympic head coach David Marsh and picked his brain on how small changes can make huge differences, especially when you want them to. Marsh has a history of working with athletes for a very short amount of time and it making a big difference.  This first started with none other than SwimSwam Co-founder Mel Stewart, as Mel went to train with Marsh for 8 weeks in the summer of 1990. Marsh made technical changes with Mel, and the next January in 1991, Mel broke his first world record in the 200 fly in 1:55.69.  Marsh goes in-depth about other athletes he's trained to success, including Cullen Jones, who was a toss-up to make the 2008 Olympic team heading into Trials, but who stormed his way onto the team in the 4x100 free relay.

It's been a while since we've been around to drop some knowledge on dat ass. So we did the Waterproof Blackman (A.K.A Cullen Jones). We talk Star Wars and sex, or what most people call "Smacking a pig while eating a apple with no pants on." Join us, YAY!!!

On the anniversary of the famous fight between Nolan Ryan and Robin Ventura, DG asks guests what there favorite sports fight was and he talks with former NC State star swimmer, 2-time US Olympian, and 4-time medalist, Cullen Jones.

In this episode of the Effortless Swimming Podcast, our guest is Performance Coach Chris Ritter. He has worked with a wide range of athletes - youth, masters to Olympic gold medalists. He works closely with Cullen Jones - 2-time Olympic Gold Medalist and American World Record Holder. In this podcast we'll talk about: - specific exercises if you're a master swimmer or triathlete - how to improve your performance in the pool by using dry land training - how to progress through different exercises if you don't have a background in strength training - how strength training can add power without the muscle gain

“If you want to put yourself on the edge as an athlete, like I do in a race car or in training for a triathlon, you have to be treating the food that’s going in your body like rocket fuel. You can’t be putting garbage in your body and expecting rocket results.”Landon CassillIt's time to explore what it takes to be competitive in one of the most popular professional sports in the United States — NASCAR.Meet Landon Cassill.Driver. Triathlete. Husband. Plant-based.Racing as far back as he can remember, at just 19 years of age Landon burst onto the national scene as the 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year. In 2013, he broke the track record at the famous Gresham Motorsports Park track. Now 25, Landon pilots the #40 Chevrolet SS for the Hillman-Circle Sport LLC team and the #01 Flex Seal Chevrolet for JDMotorsports in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.Beyond Will Ferrell's turn in Talledega Nights, NASCAR (make that auto racing in general) is a world I know close to nothing about. So it was really fun to sit down with Charlotte-based Landon to explore his personal story; the very specific and peculiar culture of NASCAR; what it really takes to professionally toe the line at prestigious races like the Daytona 500; and how diet and triathlon have come to play a crucial role in Landon’s daily success equation.Extremely likable and humble beyond expectation, I think it's fair to say this Iowa-bred young man is a fine living example of solid midwestern values and what can transpire when lifelong passion meets true drive, keen focus and a Malcolm Gladwell-esque 10,000+ hours of very hard work, sweat and determination.This is a great conversation that explores:* the athleticism, skill, technology and funding required to excel as a professional driver;* myth & reality behind NASCAR stereotypes;* the nexus between mindfulness and driving;* how triathlon informs driving performance;* swim training with Olympians Ryan Lochte, Cullen Jones & Tyler Clary;* his decision to go plant-based;* plant-based fueling for athletic performance;* strategies for optimal nutrition when traveling; and* what he drives when not racing (the answer will surprise you)On May 24, Landon will be racing the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. After competing in NASCAR's longest and most challenging test of man and machine, Landon will pioneer an entirely new form of endurance multi-sport when he jumps out of his car post-race, laces up his running shoes and tacks on an additional 14 miles for the day with a run from Charlotte Motor Speedway to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The Cassil 614 will kick off Snap Fitness’s “Snap Serves” summer campaign, which honors those who have served in the military and encourages people around the country to start their fitness journey.Between now and Landon's big day, do me a solid and let's pump him up for this challenge by giving him a supportive shout out on Twitter at @landoncassill.I genuinely hope you enjoy this glimpse into the passionate life of Landon Cassill — my version of Talledega Nights.Peace + Plants,Listen & Subscribe on iTunes | See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
