With the summer Rio 2016 Olympics just around the corner, the anticipation and buzz is starting to emerge with many athletes starting to release new sponsorship deals. Swimmer Missy Franklin, who four years ago at the age of 17 won 4 Gold Medals and 1 Bronze, has sealed a brand deal with Speedo USA.
The new “Missy Franklin Signature Series” includes performance suits for women and girls. The series will have 18 pieces, both one piece and separate pieces, with three vibrant colours. Missy serves as the perfect ambassador as she is a great role model for young women, and encourages confidence both in the pool and out of it!
After swimming at the collegiate level for Cal Berkeley for two years, Missy decided to turn professional before the next Olympics. She commented that “Speedo USA has been an incredible partner in helping me to create a line of swimwear I love and, having tested the suits myself in rigorous training sessions, I am completely confident in putting my name behind this line. I can’t wait to see these suits hit the pool decks later this year.”
The Speedo USA Missy Franklin Signature Series ranges in price from $69 for one piece swimwear suits to $24 to $34 for two-piece separates.
The collection will be available in late 2016 at www.speedoUSA.com
