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 would say being tall gives you a potential advantage. Especially at the highest levels of competition where each swimmer is highly trained and fine tuned. In masters swimming I'd say the playing field is more level and the potential advantage can be more easily negated.
