Why don't we see any big Asian swimmers? Are their body composition just not suitable for swimming. I'm of direct Asian descent and I want to know if I can become good in the sport.

    Both the Kirk sisters are half-asian. Their mother is chinese. But I agree that having to be over 6 foot for men and 5'8" for women makes it hard for asians and hispanics to succeed at the higher levels of swimming and that also goes for us short white people as well.
