Harvard Men's Swimming Coach Kevin Tyrrell and Harvard Women's Swimming Coach Stephanie Morawski discuss the program's first transgender swimmer.
It's a story that has been generating headlines for weeks. From the Harvard Crimson to the likes of Time, The Washington Post, The New York Times, People, Cosmopolitan, Sports Illustrated and other news outlets across the globe. It’s the story of Schuyler Bailar, the first openly transgender swimmer in NCAA, Division I history.
Recruited to the women’s team, he’ll be swimming with the men when he enters this fall, thanks, in part, to two coaches, who gave him the option of swimming wherever he felt most comfortable.
