Texas Investigating ‘Potential Violations’ During U.S. Masters Swimming Event Held in San Antonio

  • In May 2025, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton initiated a probe into U.S. Masters Swimming following the organization's decision to permit a transgender athlete to participate in women's competitions held in San Antonio the previous April.
  • The investigation follows concerns that U.S. Masters Swimming permitted a biological male, Ana Caldas, who dominated five races in the women's 45-49 age group, possibly violating Texas laws banning trans athletes in women's sports.
  • U.S. Masters Swimming is a recreational group focused on adult participants aged 25 and above that allows transgender athletes to compete in their chosen gender category, with official recognition contingent upon meeting specific hormonal requirements.
  • Paxton condemned the policy as unacceptable and disrespectful to female athletes, suggesting it might breach consumer protection laws in Texas. He pledged to oppose these measures vigorously and remain steadfast in protecting the integrity of women’s sports.
  • The investigation and Texas legislation reflect ongoing state efforts to enforce laws like the Save Women's Sports Act, aiming to restrict transgender athletes from competing against females and uphold fairness in women's sports.
