"I am honored to be representing AmLactin at the Marriott USMS Summer Nationals and to be among so many old friends and great competitors," said Torres. "USMS is a truly inspiring organization and to be part of the national championship in Mission Viejo, where I started my Olympic training, will be both nostalgic and a lot of fun."
Torres' appearance at the Marguerite Aquatic Center on August 8, from 1 pm to 4 pm, will be the highlight of the AmLactin team's Summer Nationals sponsorship. USMS estimates that 2,000 contenders and supporters will be part of the five-day event. Torres will be available for photos and interviews, and AmLactin representatives will be on-site throughout the tournament with product information and samples.
"AmLactin's support of USMS makes perfect sense because Masters Swimmers lead active lifestyles that expose them to harsh elements, like chlorine, which can lead to rough, dry skin," said Glenn MacEachern, Director, Product Marketing at Upsher-Smith Laboratories, Inc. "With her experience as a seasoned competitor, Dara can speak personally about beating her skin challenges with AmLactin and share her knowledge with the people who are inspired by her and admire her the most."
