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

    Hey, some of you statistical guys and gals out there here is a study for you. At the next Master's National have everyone complete a survey with questions such as height, weight, current age, years swimming masters, age at which began swimming masters, years swimming age group, age at which began swimming age group, event(s) times(s), etc. Then throw it all into a regression equation and see what falls out. Humm, you could even get more wild and crazy, with VO2 max, circumfrence of arms, legs, chest, etc. Lainey
