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?

Streamline benefits should be present throughout a swim - not just off of walls. Better body position, less drag from the water itself, etc. should be possible with a slender, taller body since the primary water resistance occurs in front of the body - which is about the same size for tall or less tall people.
I can't prove it - but I think taller people have larger hands and feet - which is goodness in swimming.
