What is the ideal body shape/type for a great swimmer?
Former Member
Is having broad shoulders and back a good or bad thing?
Should you have extra fat or be extra lean?
I wonder how much effect one's body shape/type have one's speed.
depends on the type of stroke
in general
racing kayaks which are long and skinny
tend to be faster than
row boats which are short and wide
Freestlyers, backstrokers tend to be lean and powerful
Breastrokers tend to be more muscular
