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

  • size matters most world class 100 freestylers are 6'3" or taller shape matters technique matters conditioning matters strength matters flexibility matters So for non-elite masters swimmers, it's a total crapshoot. I'm sticking by what Allen Stark just said, hard though the science was to decipher, and my SDKs. Just so I beat Team Flaky Fish.
