Five-time Olympic medallist Missy Franklin has become an ambassador for swimwear brand Speedo.

As part of Team Speedo the US athlete will act as a brand advocate for Speedo’s entire product portfolio, from competitive suits, caps and goggles to swimsuits and accessories, designed specifically for fitness swimming.

Missy Franklin won gold in four events at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, setting a World Record in 200-metre backstroke, at the age of only 17. She also won gold and broke the world record as part of the 4x100-metre medley relay team. In 2013, she became the most-decorated female swimmer in history at a single World Championships, winning six gold medals at the event in Barcelona.

“Speedo is a brand I have trusted since I began swimming. I love being in the water whether I am training, competing or just having fun, and I am excited to partner with Speedo to share my passion with others and inspire them to get in the water too,” she said.
