This reminds me. I have a statistics project due. That and i think we could disprove the stereotype that all swimmers are super tall, and lanky.
I just want your height, wingspan, and weight if you'd like to post that, this will help me out a lot, and save me some time.
also inches and pounds as units please
Wingspan= fingertip to fingertip with arms straight and level.
I'll start.
Height 6'3 (75 inches)
Wingspan 6'6 (78 inches)
Weight 173 pounds.
I'll compute the averages, and standard deviation and all that juicy math stuff in a couple days or when i get about 15 entries. I'll keep it ongoing if the thread gets posted in as well.
OK - Male age 49
H - 70"
W - 70"
Wt - 152lb

ok for every post above i did the new math. and all of it this time :laugh2:.
the new average for height is 70.54 inches so 5'10 1/2 roughly.
the new average for wingspan is 72.20 so 6'0 and 1/5 roughly.
the standard deviation for height is 3.574 (we will just say 3.6) so most swimmers are between 5'6 9/10 and 6'1 1/10.
the standard deviation for wingspan is 3.955 so well just say 4. that means most swimmers have wingspans between 5'8 and 6'4.
i have yet to do the stroke an male vs. female averages. ill probably close the thread submission into my data wise after we get 75 posters. then ill calculate all th extra little facts.
