Yay Cullen! I've seen a little criticism that his 'Make a Splash' work seems to be cutting into his training time, but clearly not the case in recent months.
I think the men's 200 BR tonight screwed up a lot of folks' picks for the SwimSwam.com contest.
Hey, if his "Make a Splash" work is cutting into his training time, at least it's for a good cause! :applaud: I can think of a lot worse things somebody could be doing that would interfere with their training time. :worms:
"Make a Splash" is one of the reasons I :cheerleader: for Cullen; that, and the fact that he is a really nice guy. Both times I spoke with him (Georgia Tech, 2010 Spring Nationals and Greensboro this year), he was as gracious and friendly as could be. And, it was funny how in both cases, we were in neighboring warm-up lanes and hit the wall at the same time and turned towards each other. When I recognized him and wished him luck in his races, he was just so nice ! And, he seemed to really enjoy taking the time out to pose for photos and sign autographs for anybody who asked. I was photographed with him in 2010, but the photo came out a little blury. So, in Greensboro, I asked him if I could get my camera for another photo with him. When I returned, I was going to hop back into the warm-up lanes for a quick photo, so I wouldn't impose too much on his time. But, he insisted on hopping out and putting his arm around me for the photo, then insisted I check that the photo turned out well. Just to make sure, he asked the guy to take another picture of us. Then, he started asking me questions about my camera and the attachment I had on it. He seemed to forget all about swimming at that moment! :D
I'll be :cheerleader: Cullen on in the 50! :agree:
