When Olympic gold medalist Cullen Jones works with children through the Make a Splash charity, an initiative that helps kids learn how to swim, he always encounters a child who is petrified of the water.

For Jones, the most rewarding part of teaching swimming is when that child finally becomes comfortable getting in the water.

“(Make a Splash) is my way of giving back to my sport and giving back to the community,” Jones said.

Jones will be talking about his life experiences along with fellow Olympic gold medalist Misty May and Paralympic gold medalistAlana Nichols today at 6:30 p.m.
