Notably, the world swimming body's new decision has faced criticism from trans rights advocate

FINA, the governing body for world swimming has voted to ban transgenders from elite women's competitions during its extraordinary general congress on Sunday. The Body is now working on an 'Open competition category' for them as a part of their new 'gender inclusion policy'. 71.5% of members of the organisation voted in favour of the new policy that will now restrict athletes transitioned after the age of 12 to compete in women's events. The International Swimming Federation or FINA in its statement said that the creation of an open category will mean that everybody has the opportunity to compete at the elite level. The decision was taken after a group comprising of medical, legal and sports figures presented a report on the same. As per the new 24-page policy, an athlete is eligible to participate in a women's event who experienced any part of male puberty before the age of 12. While currently there are no transgender women athletes participating in elite swimming competitions, these new policies will open the door for those who have never experienced male puberty (androgen insensitivity) and those females who have had suppressed male puberty before the age of 12.

These are the world's first colour changing swimming shorts. It's the temperature difference between the water and the body that leads to the change. From yellow, the polyester shorts becomes orange in water and once dry, they turn back into the original colour. Created by sea'sons, they're a unique combination of fashion and technology.
