The dancing part should not come as a surprise. Franklin’s a dancer, in the famous Call Me Maybe video, on USA National Swimming Team trips and training camps, and her skills are lauded by many.
In Denver, just outside the aquarium glass, small kids, particularly one 7 year old boy, was overjoyed to learn his hero was mere feet away!
Dancing aside, Franklin’s dive into the tank was prep for her participation in the documentary film, The Current. The Current, helmed by directors Peter Speek and Kurt Miller, will bring awareness to the Make A Hero campaign, a charity that helps individuals with disabilities enjoy the freedom of sports and recreation.
Franklin will appear in the film diving with wild dolphins as well as serve as an ambassador for the Make A Hero campaign. Franklin’s no stranger to scuba diving. On a 2011 trip with her family to Hawaii she fell in love with it (as reported by SwimSwam January 4th, 2013).
