Members of the University of Pennsylvania's women's swim team considered boycotting their last home meet to protest their transgender teammate who has been breaking records.

A source told the Daily Mail that although the women ultimately decided not to go through with the boycott out of fear they would be disqualified from the Ivy League championship, some team members felt ignored by their school and the NCAA and considered ways to make their complaints heard.

"Knowing they do not have backing from the school or NCAA, they're reluctant to jeopardize their opportunity to make the elite Ivy League squad," said the source, who the outlet described as "close to the team."

The swimmers also considered refusing to swim races with Lia Thomas, who competed on the men's team for three years, but the source said it would be an "awkward situation" because it wouldn't include the whole team. A parent of one of the swimmers said they should step up to the blocks with signs criticizing the NCAA for not protecting the integrity of women's sports.

Despite their frustration, "it's possible the swimmers may end up doing nothing because they are so afraid to be perceived as transphobic," said a parent of one of the swimmers.

The last home meet, scheduled for Jan. 8 in Philadelphia, is typically a celebration for the team's seniors. Despite their season being overshadowed by the situation surrounding Thomas, another source told the Daily Mail that "these girls are still determined to make sure they get the proper recognition and that their moment is celebrated as it should be."

The women's swim team has been directed not to speak to the media, and the news outlet reported that because the whole team isn't in agreement, many are afraid of worsening the situation. Two swimmers spoke out anonymously against competing against a biological man earlier this month. A group of parents wrote a letter to the NCAA asking it to address the situation but have not received a response.
