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? :D

  • I always think of backstrokers and free-sprinters as thin and tall, with butterfly and distance swimmers being about medium tall and any body shape, while breaststrokers tend to be a bit shorter and stockier but still very powerful! Not a scientific observation...and not the case every time....just my general impression.
