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

    Not a typo, 7 foot arm span. Buying shirts and suits off-the-rack is not an option. My arm span is 6ft...for a girl that's crazy. I was thrilled when the extra long sleeves was in fashion for girls. Things actually fit me. I feel your pain for not finding things that fit. My inseam is 35", too bad it's hard to find any pants that are long enough. When I find some, I buy in bulk. I'm also convinced my legs are too long for me to kick well. They're always getting tangled up with each other.
