Last month Streamline Brands swim schools, SafeSplash Swim School, Swimtastic Swim School, and SwimLabs Swim School competed in the "I Swim Because" Facebook social contest. So many of you told us why you swam and we were truly inspired and touched by your passion. Of all the schools that competed, SwimLabs Sandy took gold getting 5-time Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin to Utah! Local Utah news station KUTV was on hand to report on the event. See the video report here!
Spending the day with @SwimLabs today. It's been great to meet fans and families from the area, plus it's my first-ever visit to Utah! pic.twitter.com/Hg671FfW5g

A few highlights to share:
- 200+ attendees at the event including swimmers, parents, coaches and tri-clubs
- 3 Local media teams covered the story
- A line wrapped around the corner for autographs
- An experience of a lifetime for select customers to get in the tank with Missy Franklin
- Plus, as a bonus, SwimLabs was able to capture video of Missy in the tank for the SwimLabs stroke analysis library
