USA Swimming’s National Team athlete Christine Jennings (Longmont, Colo.) will be part of the Denver Nuggets’ Swim Night on Friday inside the Pepsi Center.
“I’m proud to be able to represent the USA Swimming Foundation for Swim Night at the Denver Nuggets game,” said Jennings. “I love encouraging involvement in competitive swim programs, not only because it’s a fun way to make lifelong friends, but because it can also give someone the ability to gain life skills and provide a way to exercise for the rest of their life.”
Prior to the game, Jennings – an open-water standout – will sign autographs and take pictures with fans from 5 p.m. to 6:50 p.m. She will then enjoy a courtside seat alongside some of the Colorado swimming community for the 7 p.m. tip again the San Antonio Spurs.
