Swimming news reported by Braden Keith:
14-year old professional swimmer Michael Andrew has signed his second major endorsement deal in June of 2013, inking a contract for sponsorship with Mutual of Omaha, a mutual insurance and financial services company based in Omaha, Nebraska.
Mutual of Omaha has been a huge player in swimming sponsorships, with the title endorsements behind meets (Duel in the Pool), clinic tours (Josh Davis’ Breakout clinics), USA Swimming as a whole organization, and American swimmers. Andrew is one of 7 swimmers of whom Mutual of Omaha announced sponsorships, though he’s by far the youngest of those 7.
Andrew joins a list of sponsored athletes that includes:
- Josh Davis
- Conor Dwyer
- Matt Grevers
- Misty Hyman
- Ian Crocker
- Jason Lezak
- Dana Vollmer
Josh is already on board with USRPT and promoting it. They are doing a clinic together in Arizona next month promoting USRPT. Michael is planning to work with both Josh and Rowdy Gaines a lot more from here on out.
My prediction… Josh takes up the USRPT sword when Rushall retires.
“I’ve become great friends with Josh Davies.”
