Malmsten Swimming Lane Lines On The Road To The Olympics

The SwimSwam Podcast

Thanks to @malmstenab3682 and the CEO of Malmsten Inc, Mikael Orn for this inside look into the company and team that has provided swimming's lane lines for the last ten Olympic Games! Malmsten has very deep roots in swimming. Tommy and Margareta Malmsten founded the Swedish company in 1974. Tommy, a former competitive swimmer and national Swedish coach, combined his love of swimming with his skills as an engineer to develop top-notch gear for the swimming community. Malmsten wanted to remain true to its roots, maintaining a family-oriented atmosphere while providing superior products for competitive swimmers. Mikael Orn swam for Tommy and went on to win an Olympic bronze medal at the 1984 Games in LA. Mikael - or Mike - heads up Malmsten Inc. which services the Americas, and Mike will be on the team that preps and supplies lane lines for the 2028 Olympic Games in LA.
