there would be a need for a pre-race weigh in, and each swimmer would then be given a weigh belt, so that all the smaller swimmers weigh as much as the largest for each event.
or set a min weight, so the larger swimmers would be at disadvantage, but the smaller swimmers would have to wear weight belts to reach that min weight.
And, at long last, a handicapping system is brought into the world of swimmers when the King of Sports (Swimming) is finally equal to the Sport of Kings (Horse-racing.)
