Alicia Paans, a 31-year-old trans athlete, is expected to participate for the Michigan Wolverines' women's waterpolo club team in a national championship this weekend.
A transgender athlete is reportedly set to compete in a national women’s water polo championship this weekend, which will be her second time doing so. The Michigan Wolverines women’s water polo club team has Alicia Paans, a 31-year-old graduate student, on its roster ahead of the 2024 National Collegiate Club Water Polo Championships. The tournament will be held at Texas A&M this upcoming weekend. The Wolverines’ club team will take on Texas State University in its first match on May 3.
'Transgender athletes who identify as female are eligible to compete in both the Co-ed League and the Women’s League,' the policy reads, while also needing a 'letter of confirmation' to confirm gender identity as well as proof of testosterone levels below 10 nmol/L within 60 days of competition. Paans was born in the Netherlands and moved to California in 2017, when she began interning at a social sports club, Volo San Diego, per Reduxx.
