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?

Under the nothing new under the sun category, Napoleon Bonaparte actually had something to say that applies to this discussion:
On the one hand, "God is on the side of the big battalions."
On the other, "The moral is to the physical as three is to one."
I think the answer is that both statements are true, up to a point, and the interesting part is when these factors cut in opposite directions. That is when we get to see the really interesting races. Of course, it is best to be tall AND highly motivated...
