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?

in both swimming and rowing (especailly rowing), I was always a munchkin. My parents, standing at 5'11 (mom) and 6'3 (dad), I arrived at 5'4. In pictures with them I look like little person. But, the shortness never stopped me, and only encouraged me to whip the snot out of the big girls (especailly in rowing, who the only woman on my team faster than me was in the last olympics).
So, height, smeight.
Go short people!
:D
PS, Janet Evans still rocks.
