Bob bowman king of speed running the gauntlet of “I have neutral/slightly positive feelings towards you” -> “you are my least favorite person in the swimming world rn”
it’s the trio of fuckign somehow changing the Olympic schedule for his ✨special✨ swimmers, the lowkey grimy nature of Regan entering the transfer portal after spending two years as a pro with Bowman, and now him fuckign abandoning ASU after building the program from the ground up AND abandoning his swimmers literal months before trials/olympics
I hope this man flops so hard at Texas
I also think it’s bullshit that Texas hired a man to oversee Capitani after she led the women to a slew of top 5 finishes, including back-to-back runner-up finishes. Bowman could’ve just been the men’s head coach. They didn’t need to give him power of Capitani who has done incredible things for the women’s team.

Hi Tumblr
August 9th, 2023
The end of summer is approaching slowly but surely- it's been one of deep existential crisis for me. However. Sitting and contemplating what I'm going to do with my life has gotten me nowhere, so here I am finally doing something about it (after several weeks of failing to do so I must add)
I'm starting this blog to document my journey in swimming. I've recently decided that I'm going to apply to universities as a student athlete. I really want to go to division 1 or division 3 colleges. I'm going into my sophomore year in September at a new boarding school. It's nerve-wracking but I'm excited for the new adventures.
feel free to follow me on my journey (I have no idea how it's gonna go) if you're interested!

Swim culture is thinking you're done swimming competitively only to find out the college you just got accepted to has a swim club that competes on a regional and national level

Ken Schultz at Outsports:
Since swimming against Lia Thomas at the 2022 NCAA Championships, Riley Gaines has made herself into one of the most prominent names in the movement to ban trans women from competing in women’s sports. In addition to showing up at anti-trans demonstrations whenever there’s a TV camera nearby, Gaines regularly advocates against transgender women on Fox News, hosts an anti-trans-athlete podcast on Outkick, and spreads her message of exclusion at colleges as varied as Harvard, Notre Dame, Grand Canyon University and UC-Berkeley. Gaines’ national profile took off after her race with Thomas, so naturally you’d expect that this meet must have resulted in some kind of traumatic loss that caused her to turn heel against the transgender community. Incredibly, though, nothing like that took place. When Gaines competed that day in the NCAA 200-meter freestyle final, she finished tied with Thomas for fifth place. That doesn’t seem like the kind of result that would haunt Gaines and eventually galvanize her into the anti-trans pundit she’s become. Indeed, if Gaines had somehow retroactively gotten what she currently advocates for, and Thomas was banned from competition, she still would’ve finished fifth.
As if to underscore this, immediately after the race, Gaines’ criticism of Thomas was muted. Even when The Daily Wire gave her a platform a few days later, her biggest complaint was that the NCAA only had one fifth place trophy and they decided to give it to Thomas while promising to mail her another. Speaking of Thomas in that story, Gaines even added, “I am in full support of her and full support of her transition and her swimming career and everything like that because there’s no doubt that she works hard too, but she’s just abiding by the rules that the NCAA put in place, and that’s the issue.” While she was still speaking out against Thomas’ participation in the event, Gaines’ rhetoric was remarkably toned down from what we’ve come to expect. There are even surprising hints of her acknowledging Thomas’ humanity — and if Gaines wanted to go scorched earth on trans athletes at this point, The Daily Wire would have gladly printed all of it.
To get a sense of how much things have changed, almost a year to the day later, Gaines tweeted, “Lia Thomas is not a brave, courageous woman who EARNED a national title. He is an arrogant, cheat who STOLE a national title from a hardworking, deserving woman. The NCAA is responsible.”
Well, that sure took a turn. While Gaines’ criticism of the NCAA was consistent, everything else about her message went full-on hard right into misgendering and outright transphobia. What happened in that year that would cause this? Could a fifth-place trophy have been that important? Considering Gaines repeated the trophy story in testimony before the Congress and the Ohio Statehouse and still obsessed over it at recent rallies, the answer appeared to be yes.
[...] Her growing celebrity in the anti-trans movement eventually led to further gigs. Summer 2023 was momentous for her as she launched her Outkick podcast that July. Then in August, conservative advocacy organization The Leadership Institute announced the founding of The Riley Gaines Center to oversee her speaking events. The Leadership Institute was founded by millionaire conservative activist Morton Blackwell and is funded in part by the Charles Koch Foundation.
Outsports's Ken Schultz reports on the rise of University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines's career shift to right-wing anti-trans extremist grifter and pundit.
In the immediate aftermath of Gaines tying in 5th with trans woman swimmer Lia Thomas in March 2022, Gaines was in support of Thomas's transition to becoming a woman even while still she was against her participation in the 200-meter freestyle final.
Later that same year, however, Gaines turned the anti-trans bigotry up to 100 by appearing on multiple right-wing programs and featuring in Republican campaign ads against the inclusion of trans women in women's sports.
In the past year, Gaines has been using her platform to spew out hateful right-wing propaganda on all sorts of issues in addition to her usual transphobia, endorsed anti-LGBTQ+ extremist Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for President, and even got a podcast on Outkick called Gaines For Girls.

Narcissists, Frauds, and Enablers: Trans Women and Women's Sports | Riley Gaines | EP 356
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and twelve-time All-American female swimmer Riley Gaines discuss the insemination of men into women's spaces. Gaines breaks down the breach in security that women face when forced to share vulnerable spaces with biological men, the purpose of athletic achievement, why segregation of the sexes has genuine merit, and what exactly went down at San Francisco State University. Riley Gaines is an American athlete and female rights activist. Gaines is a graduate from the University of Kentucky, where she was a twelve-time All-American swimmer. She competed and tied with trans-identifying swimmer Lia Thomas at their NCAA championships and was unfairly sidelined from the awards ceremony. She has spoken to numerous teammates and administrators who do not think this attack on female sports is fair, and more importantly, do not feel this invasion by men into female spaces is remotely safe. Gaines has become an outspoken female rights activist, advocating for the protection of women's spaces, sports, and achievements, and has proven herself unshakable even when faced with a dangerous mob.
