I was wondering if being tall gives you an advantage in swimming because alot of the olympic male swimmers today are over 6 feet.
What do you guys think?

Bert hit the nail on the head...YES, size does make a huge difference...BUT, the great Don Sholander and many other world class swimmers are NOT huge...HUGE in HEART is ALWAYS a winner....Janet Evan was not the tallest swimmer of her time...but let's face the facts....her records still stand....YEARS later...She had more grit then most ten people I know. I'll take grit, hard work and heart over size ANYDAY! Size helps, but it is NOT the most important factor in winning....
Kindest regards,
