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?

someone actually posted a funny post about if someone is 25 ft tall, they'd touch the end of the pool right away... :P That does remind me though, since swimming (let's say freestyle) is a totally "horizontal" sport, doesn't taller swimmer get that few inches of advantage (esp in short 50 sprint)? Might not be much, but when the diff in time is usually in hundreds of seconds...hmm...makes you wonder... Of course, the skill has to be so perfect so that this few inch would come into play...
