Featuring Riley Gaines
Riley Gaines is a former All-American swimmer and advocate for women’s sports, equality, and safety in single-sex spaces.
Riley Gaines is a 12-time All-American swimmer and graduate of the University of Kentucky who has become one of the most recognized voices defending fairness and biological reality in women’s sports. After tying UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas at the 2022 NCAA Championships, Riley unexpectedly found herself at the center of a national conversation. What the world saw as controversy, Riley experienced as a clear calling—an invitation to stand for truth, courage, and God-given design.
Grounded in her Christian faith, Riley uses her platform to advocate for women’s single-sex spaces, athlete safety, and equal opportunities for future generations. She speaks openly about rooting her identity not in accolades or public opinion, but in who she is in Christ. Whether she’s addressing students, churches, or national audiences, Riley’s message is marked by conviction, compassion, and a deep desire to honor God.
Today, Riley travels the country encouraging young women to embrace their worth, stand firm in a confusing culture, and trust that God equips those He calls. Her story continues to inspire boldness, clarity, and hope in an age that desperately needs all three.
