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?

Well, someone gain on me because they were slightly higher in height on the dive and turn. Also, they were 34 versus my 46 and I sacifice some of the underwater pull in breaststroke in order to have oxigen, I still beat them by 7 seconds in the 100 meter. I just was able to kick into gear more in the last 50 meter and they might have less some speed because they stayed down longer in the underwater pull. It can work both ways from gaining from turns.
