What is the ideal body shape/type for a great swimmer?

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.
Most good male collegate swimmers will sink. If you are going relatively fast your body will automatically rise somewhat in the water. Thats partially why a wetsuit will not appreciably speed up a good swimmer.
