@TheLeilisa depends I suppose. It means more drag area, but also you may have more muscle with larger build to make up for that. I'm 6'2 and swim a 1500 in about 28 minutes in open water. That's not terribly fast. Hoping to shave a minute or two this year.
@slunkmonky sounds like you are a good swimmer. It has been more than 3 months since i dropped the comment and i was using a product then named helpo growth frm w...growtallerstore.commm i ve reached my desired height and gained 3 inches. I see that height is advantage in swimming.
Thanks, Vic - yes, the sighting motion should happen QUICKLY. It's just a quick look up. Then the head comes right back down, or to the side for a breath.
I want this video on my E365 phone.

Being tall such as 6ft is an advantage in swimming ?
