In total, she won twenty-eight medals in international competition: seventeen gold, six silver, and five bronze, spanning the Olympics, the World Championships, the short course World Championships, and the Pan Pacific Championships.

During her rise to stardom surrounding the 2012 Olympics, Franklin continued to refuse prize money and endorsements so that she could maintain her amateur status to compete in college.

While working for 7-Up in Ontario, Dick was transferred to the United States.

Ultimately the family settled in Denver, Colorado, where Dick had a senior position with Coors Brewing Company.
