But she has forever changed the sport, her impact reaching far beyond any medal she has won.<\/p>\n<p>Because of her platform on the sport\u2019s biggest stage, Manuel has opened up swimming to the African-American community on a level never before seen in the United States. Manuel cannot forget the many instances of parents approaching her to say that their son or daughter wanted to join swim lessons because they watched Manuel in the Olympics, and there were even instances of older people joining swim lessons because she had inspired them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s really cool that me swimming up the pool just a couple of times on TV can inspire people to get in the pool and learn how to swim or dream about things that they never thought they possibly could achieve,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Manuel grew up in a world where African-American swimmers were the exception, and above all else, that\u2019s the change she wants to see in swimming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was 12 years old, I came home from swim practice, and I asked my mom why there weren\u2019t many people that looked like me in the sport of swimming,\u201d Manuel said. \u201cWe did some research, and we looked up African-American swimmers. Obviously, I knew of Cullen Jones and Maritza Correia, but I learned about Sabir Muhammad and Tanica Jamison and so many others who didn\u2019t quite get the recognition that they deserved in the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>To read more about Simone Manuel&#8217;s impact and her attitude toward Tokyo 2020,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>check out the November issue of Swimming World, available now!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2019\/swimming-world-magazine-november-2019-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"400388\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-presents-florian-wellbrock-as-mens-open-water-swimmer-of-the-year-on-the-cover-of-november-2019-issue\/sw-november-2019-florian-wellbrock-cover-800x1070\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SW-November-2019-Florian-Wellbrock-Cover-800x1070.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1070\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"SW November 2019 Florian Wellbrock Cover 800&#215;1070\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;SW November 2019 Florian Wellbrock &#8211; Ana Marcela Cunha -Simone Manuel Cover 800&#215;1070&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;November 2019 &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SW-November-2019-Florian-Wellbrock-Cover-800x1070-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SW-November-2019-Florian-Wellbrock-Cover-800x1070-766x1024.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-400388 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SW-November-2019-Florian-Wellbrock-Cover-800x1070.jpg\" alt=\"SW November 2019 Florian Wellbrock Cover 800x1070\" width=\"800\" height=\"1070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SW-November-2019-Florian-Wellbrock-Cover-800x1070.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SW-November-2019-Florian-Wellbrock-Cover-800x1070-150x201.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SW-November-2019-Florian-Wellbrock-Cover-800x1070-766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SW-November-2019-Florian-Wellbrock-Cover-800x1070-300x401.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SW-November-2019-Florian-Wellbrock-Cover-800x1070-450x602.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SW-November-2019-Florian-Wellbrock-Cover-800x1070-673x900.jpg 673w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SW-November-2019-Florian-Wellbrock-Cover-800x1070-374x500.jpg 374w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SW-November-2019-Florian-Wellbrock-Cover-800x1070-245x327.jpg 245w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SW-November-2019-Florian-Wellbrock-Cover-800x1070-533x713.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[PHOTO CREDIT: BECCA WYANT]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Get <em>Swimming World Magazine<\/em> and <em>Swimming World Biweekly<\/em> FREE When You<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product-category\/ishof-membership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product-category\/ishof-membership\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1522345712821000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGfwbLD2OaI21g28efcR0DZZlQSOQ\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Become A Member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Want More?
