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?

Being tall does help on starts and turns; had a gal friend who was 6'2 and she always caught up to me after the turn, but my swimming was faster and I would then pull away in the stretch. But every turn, here she came and I am only 5'8.
On another note, I like people starting new threads even if it contains a lot of the same information as old ones. A lot of new people enjoy participating in a new thread vs just reading the older ones. And usually the older threads are eventually introduced into the new thread making for greater information all-in-one. And a lot more information is usually gained because new people have new questions and new theories about the same older subject.
