Body proportion and swimming advantage

Former Member over 17 years ago

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?

While there have been shorter swimmers in the past,I'd guess the shortest current WR holder among men is Kitajima at 5'8".
