Speedo USA and six-time Olympic medalist Missy Franklin on Tuesday launched the Missy Franklin Signature Series collection. The collection is available for pre-orders on the Speedo USA website and at select retailers.

 
The Missy Franklin Signature Series is an 18-piece collection of swimsuits for women and girls. Franklin partnered with Speedo to design the collection that includes one-piece suits and mix-and-match separates. Each piece is crafted with chlorine resistant fabric on both the outside and inside of suits, and features one of Franklin’s favorite mottos, “With strength and dignity…,” inscribed on the suits’ grippers and bands..
 
Courageous young female athletes inspired the Olympic medalist and record holder to design the partnership collection with Speedo. Franklin and Speedo began working on the collaboration in 2015 and held several sessions at the Speedo USA headquarters in California and Franklin’s family home in Denver to bring the collection to life.

“Over the years, I’ve learned so much about finding joy in the water – as a competitor and someone who enjoys spending time at the pool with family and friends,” said Franklin. “Self-expression is important in both settings, and wearing bright colors and patterns with my pink Speedo goggles has always brought a smile to my face. To have created a line with Speedo USA that stands up to tough training and is comfortable and fun for everyday use at the pool has been an incredible experience for me.”
 
The Missy Franklin Signature Series ranges in price from $24 to $69.
