  • I am currently at the Canadian Masters Championships. I am not Canadian but they let me swim. If I earn a medal I get it, but I do not displace a Canadian so in for instance the 50 BR in my age group 2 Gold medals are given. Also I could not set a Canadian record.

    This is an interesting concept. Until USMS transgender policy is updated to align with WA policy, transgender swimmers' results could be managed similarly, thereby respecting the rankings and achievements of biological female swimmers.. For example, the transgender swimmer named Kerri McCaffrey in the W60-64 age group's top ten places wouldn't displace the women ranked below Kerri if the Canadian approach of acknowledgment was implemented.
