There’s Been ‘No Lack of Stories in the Media’ About Eating Disorders in Swim Sports | Sky News Australia

There’s been “no lack of stories in the media” about eating disorders in swim sports, according to Swimming Australia President Dr. Michelle Gallen.

“You’re dealing with a very sensitive area when you need to talk to young people around things related to body image in a performance context,” she told Sky News Australia.

“Setting some guidelines around that and having some policies in place and then doing the education so that our entire community can take these guidelines on board and have really respectful considered conversations about this sort of stuff is really important.”
