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.

Many Asian countries stopped pushing swimming as a major sport after WWII. Now they are on a come back. Still, in Japan, the number one participatory sport for women is long distance running. that very much blows the stereo type most in the USA have of Janpanese women.
Also, many swimmers come from swimming families. There has really been a tradition of asian swimmers in the US, has there?
