The USA Swimming Foundation Make a Splash Tour continued this week with stops in San Diego and Corpus Christi, Texas.

USA Swimming Ambassadors Josh Davis, Rowdy Gaines, Ryan Murphy and Jordan Wilimovsky were all on hand for the Make a Splash Tour Stop June 3 in San Diego, where they visited the Birch Aquarium with local children, attended a press conference and in-pool swim clinic at the Copley Price YMCA, attended a donor luncheon at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, and appeared at a beach event in partnership with Prevent Drowning Foundation of San Diego.
