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

    Instead of a regression equation, it sounds as though a Pearson Correlation Coefficient test would be better. Even more interesting might be to feed the information into a neural network and then perturb each of the input variables by several percent and see which one(s) give the largest percentage output change.
