Are Female Swimmers Underrepresented?
There has not been a time where female athletes have achieved equal representation in the sports world. Swimming in particular is plagued with underrepresentation. It is evident in the media, classifying times, restriction in the events they can participate in, inequality in science research, sexualization in print media and fewer scholarship opportunities. As a swimmer myself, I have experienced all of these obstacles. It is difficult to fulfill my dreams in a world dominated by men.
