Four Olympic medalists from the United States swim team will spend five days enjoying beautiful Puerto Vallarta, after having won eight gold medals and three silver medals at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

The invitation to the four medalists (Matt Grevers, Dana Vollmer, Ricky Berens and Rebecca Soni) was made by the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board (FIDETUR) as part of a proposal generated at the last meeting of the Puerto Vallarta  Association of Hotels and Motels, in hopes that the visit by these world class athletes will generate international media attention and help to promote Puerto Vallarta.

Frank Bush, Director of the U.S National Swim Team, the Puerto Vallarta Convention and Visitors Bureau Technical Committee, and the Board of Tourism have all worked together on bringing these athletes to Puerto Vallarta.

The athletes will be promoting their visit on their social networks and talking to their fans and followers about their experiences in Puerto Vallarta. They will be greeted by tourism and city authorities as distinguished visitors to the city and will be meeting with children and young athletes in Vallarta to encourage them in pursuing sports.
