In addition to securing sponsorships, she\u2019s already served as an ambassador for a USA Swimming program, acting as <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/watch-missy-franklin-take-on-the-swimjitsu-course\/ target=_blank>the face for the Swimjitsu national tour<\/a> this past summer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Video announcement<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lhqYX9Dp7H8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Among the major pushes for the foundation is the Make-A-Splash campaign, which is working to reduce the number of drownings in the United States. Recent numbers indicate that 10 children die from drowning each day because they do not know how to swim, and the majority of those are minorities. The foundation has held clinics across the country for children to learn the basics of swimming, featuring a swimming celebrity. As ambassador, Franklin is likely to become a part of that national tour.<\/p>\n<p>Franklin will join fellow Olympic champions <strong>Rowdy Gaines<\/strong> and <strong>Cullen Jones<\/strong> as foundation ambassadors. Gaines and Jones have been a part of the Make-A-Splash initiative since 2008, and having Franklin\u2019s presence could continue to make the program very popular.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were so many reasons why I made the USA Swimming Foundation my charity of choice,\u201d Franklin said in the announcement. \u201cFirst and foremost, swimming has always has a special place in my heart and it always will. They (the foundation) have been with me, as well as countless other athletes, along our Olympic journeys, \u2026 and it\u2019s so wonderful knowing that you have such an incredible team behind you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The foundation\u2019s motto is \u201cSaving Live, Building Champions,\u201d which emphasizes the goal of not only getting kids water safe, but keeping them in the sport with the hope that they will become successful competitive swimmers. Franklin said she was excited about that lifelong commitment to a child found in the USA Swimming Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not about getting someone in the water, and then leaving them there after that,\u201d she said. \u201cFirst, it\u2019s saving lives, and then it\u2019s all about building yourself as a champion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Missy
