    Well, the goal was simple . . . I wanted to join the list of swimmers who have swum from Europe to Africa across the Gibraltar Straits, joining the ranks of such renowned swimmers as Colin Hill (founder of Chillswim), Simon Murie (founder of Swimtrek) and, of course, Total Immersion founder, Terry Laughlin, who completed the swim with two TI compadresโ€”Lennart Larsson of Sweden and Tommi Patilla of Finlandโ€”in October 2013.

  • ‘This Is Possible’: Harvard Swimmer Sets Example for Other Trans Athletes

    Transgender athlete Schuyler Bailar is breaking records the hard way โ€” by being himself. The Harvard University swimmer, who was assigned female at birth, is the first openly transgender athlete to compete in any sport on an NCAA Division 1 men’s team.

    Bailar, 21, began his transition shortly before starting college in 2014. He wants LGBTQ youth to know that athletes like him exist.

    “I mean me as a trans athlete who’s healthy, who’s happy, who’s out there, who’s succeeding, who’s doing what he loves, who gets to be who he is โ€” I want kids to see that,” Bailar told NBC News.

    Bailar went to high school in Virginia, where he was a star competitor on the girl’s swim team. His junior year, he broke his back during a mountain biking trip, rendering him unable to swim.

    “Breaking my back broke me,” Bailar said, “because up until then swimming was my entire life.”
