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.

    I have always been tall and very skinny. rigfht now, I'm no longer a very good swimmer. I can float in almost any depth of water in any position. This I'm always told is very rare for a man. then I see others float just as well. My long arms used to help also.
