British swimming gold medallist Rebecca Adlington has signed a sponsorship deal with swimwear brand Speedo.

The Mansfield native joins other swimming greats such as Michael Phelps by partnering with the sport apparel brand, and could very well become the face for Speedo in the UK.

Adlington was one of Team GB’s heroes in Beijing when she became the first British woman swimmer to win a gold medal since 1960.

Dave Robinson, Speedo President said, “Rebecca Adlington has already established herself as an outstanding swimmer and has a long, bright future ahead of her. She is a great ambassador for both Speedo and the sport of swimming and we look forward to working with her and help her to build what is sure to be an impressive career throughout the coming years.”
