What kind of body proportion is good for swimming? When one stands upright, a short torso and long legs are better proportion. Is the opposite true for swimming? Long torso is good for swimming, but seems long legs, too?
Don't get too wrapped up in what's ideal. There are many stereotype busters. At 5'4", I am always one of the shortest swimmers at meets, and I cannot do the evil stroke whatsoever. I make up for it in flexibility and strength.
mj put it best -- good to be tall, better to be efficient.
