Splashbacks 2021-March-April: Transgender Issue First Discussed; Ian Thorpe Analyzes 200 Freestyle<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Swimming World continues its look back at 2021, one of the most popular features for the timeframe of March and April was published by intern Lucas Draper and examined being a transgender athlete in the sport of swimming. That feature remains prominent amid the recent debate regarding Lia Thomas<\/a>, the University of Pennsylvania transgender athlete who is excelling for the Quakers and whose potential appearance at the NCAA Championships has sparked discussion over the fairness of racing against biological females.<\/p>\n

Here is a glance at the most read stories on the Swimming World website for March and April.<\/p>\n

1. Being a Transgender Athlete in the Swimming World<\/a><\/p>\n

Nine months before Lia Thomas\u2019 name became familiar in the swimming world, this article looked at the requirements of the NCAA for transgender athletes to compete on the collegiate stage. The article reviewed hormone requirements and swimsuit regulations, among other points.<\/p>\n

The article focused on issues specific to female athletes, with Willmott discussing topics such as periods and puberty.<\/p>\n

3. Ian Thorpe: Everyone in the World is Swimming the 200 Freestyle Wrong<\/a><\/p>\n

While making an appearance on the Inside with Brett Hawke Podcast, Australian Olympic<\/a> champion and icon Ian Thorpe expressed his beliefs that competitors in the 200 freestyle were not attacking the race. Thorpe called for individuals in the event to press the pace with more intensity and be willing to fight through the pain endured in the final strokes.<\/p>\n

4. What Makes the Perfect Swimmer\u2019s Body?<\/a><\/p>\n

This article, which Swimming World has reprinted on several occasions, takes a look at the attributes that are most beneficial. The analysis discusses aspects such as center of mass, height and flexibility, and how these traits help swimmers in the water.<\/p>\n

5. Strong Women Are Beautiful Women: Growing Up in a Swimmer\u2019s Body<\/a><\/p>\n

This feature is a celebration of the female body and the work athletes put into the sport. The article not only pays tribute to women in the sport, but also examines the difficulties that some swimmers have as women with more pronounced muscles.<\/p>\n

As the delayed Olympic Trials crept closer, Swimming World published the qualifying standards for each of the events on the men\u2019s and women\u2019s sides. Publishing these qualifying marks offered readers the chance to recognize how fast swimmers must be to compete at the United States\u2019 top meet.<\/p>\n

7. 5 Outside-the-Pool Activities For Faster Swimming<\/a><\/p>\n

Swimming World intern Peter Martin provided an analysis of five ways that swimmers can enhance their times while out of the water. Martin discusses the advantages found in running and taking part in core work to strengthen a swimmer\u2019s hull.<\/p>\n

8. Netflix Starts Production on \u2018The Swimmers\u2019 \u2013 Rare On-Screen Look at the Sport<\/a><\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t often that a swimming show is produced, so when word came out that Netflix was preparing to tell the story of two Syrian refugees who were swimmers, readers took note. The Netflix project will tell the story of the Mardini sisters, who fled the Syrian Civil War in 2015.<\/p>\n

During tuneup competition for the United States Olympic Trials, a victory by Ryan Lochte over Caeleb Dressel at the ISCA Cup was big news and had people talking about Lochte qualifying for a fifth Olympic Games. Ultimately, that pursuit by Lochte came up short at Trials.<\/p>\n

10. What Would It Mean If Ryan Lochte Made Another Olympic Team<\/a><\/p>\n

With Ryan Lochte looking solid during his early-season preparation for the Olympic Trials, David Rieder put together a column on the positives and minuses of Lochte qualifying for the 2020 Games in Tokyo. Rieder discussed points such as experience and if Lochte\u2019s presence meant a shortcoming of rising talent in the American ranks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
