I agree the ruling should be overturned. But I think that the big picture that she was breaking the rules (however it was school sanctioned) is being overlooked. The school knew that and placed this athlete in a uncomfortable position.No. Even if they changed refs, a previous refs objections, or in this case approval of attire, should have been noted and upheld. And this was a lap race, which means the new ref would have saw her before she got in the water. The objection should have been made then and the athlete is usually given the option to change or have their coach take them off the roster for the race.
I think people are so caught up on the bad ruling and “body shaming” that everything else is being ignored.
