About
The Cullen Jones Diversity Tour was established in 2008 out of a need for the larger swim community to have a vehicle to support a diverse population of young kids. The Cullen Jones Diversity Tour hopes to better serve participants on issues such as learning to swim, drowning prevention, swim team access, swimming as an alternate choice for athletic activities and excellence, health benefits of swimming, social environments that will foster friendships for a lifetime in swimming, increase self esteem and many other topics that are of the utmost importance to the Tour's founder, Cullen Jones.
The goals of the Tour are simple: heighten the visibility of an underserved segment of the population to the tremendous benefits of being around and in aquatic environments and ultimately swim teams. As we attempt to walk before we run, our 2008 and 2009 plans revolve around community activation programs associated with swim teams in various communities who have shown a dedication to developing a strong commitment toward recruitment, support and advancement in various minority communities across the United States. These plans call for numerous one day Cullen Jones Diversity Swim Clinics and multi day Cullen Jones Diversity Swim Meets. Sample formats are available under Swim Meets and Swim Clinics on this site.
To discuss qualification for a Cullen Jones Diversity Tour event in your community, please contact Bobby Brewer VP of Marketing for Premier Management Group, LLC at bobby@pmgsports.com
In the meantime if you would like to sponsor, support, donate or just let us know how you might assist us in making drowning in the minority community non existent, to help young kids realize the health benefits of staying active through swimming or find a swim team that supports a diverse group of kids, contact Bobby and lets collectively move forward on a national initiative that is achievable, worthwhile and in need of your help!
