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.

About an hour or two before you swim, eat a big plateful of baked beans and sauerkraut. Maybe throw in a bit of chocolate for dessert.
Then "hold it in" when you start getting gassy. Should help increase buoyancy!
what if you fail to hold it in?? I am sure others at the pool would appreciate it.
Water from the pool (if I happened to swallow some) always makes me gassy afterwards. Perhaps for the same reason. ;)
