Penn swimmer Lia Thomas was not in the pool for the Quakers on Friday night as the Ivy League team defeated West Chester University (Pa.) in their final meet of the regular season.
Championships has come into question after the organization updated its transgender participation policy putting the onus on the sport’s federation to come up with guidelines.
"USA Swimming firmly believes in inclusivity and the opportunity for all athletes to experience the sport of swimming in a manner that is consistent with their gender identity and expression. We also strongly believe in competitive equity, and, like many, are doing our best to learn and educate ourselves on the appropriate balance in this space," the organization said.
"The non-elite athlete inclusion procedures remain unchanged. Following broad transgender policy changes in Nov. 2021, the IOC now requires International Federations to create their own sport-specific eligibility requirements, and so we have been proactively working with FINA for several months to help shape and support their policy development efforts. We believe they will release a new policy shortly, which we will adopt for elite-level competitions.
