Riley Gaines joins the podcast this week to talk about her experience competing against Lia Thomas, the male currently allowed to compete in the NCAA Women’s Swimming competitions. Riley shares her story and explains how much work it’s taken to get to this level of competitive swimming, how she and other women have handled competing against a man, and what it’s been like for her to speak out. 

Riley Gaines is a senior on the University of Kentucky's swim team. She tied for 5th place in the 200m at the NCAA Division 1 Women's Swimming & Diving Championships with Lia Thomas. The trophy for 5th place was handed to Thomas, and Gaines is still waiting for her trophy to arrive.
