Cullen Jones

2025 BTS Belonging Blueprint

Cullen’s journey is more than just a story of elite athleticism—it’s a testament to resilience, representation, and rewriting history. In a sport where barriers once seemed insurmountable, he shattered them, inspiring generations to dream bigger, swim further, and break through limitations.

At the summit, he shared his blueprint for belonging—how breaking through in elite spaces changes the game, opens doors, and redefines what’s possible. He also spoke about his partnership with Speedo and how he’s leveraging his platform to give back to the community, advocate for water safety, and create pathways for future generations.

We celebrate pioneers like Cullen, who remind us that belonging is built by those who dare to go first—and then uplift others to follow.
