Your right few people can swim year round. I should know since I do it.
-
and if a bullfrog had wings... 17 years of intense training year round got Michael to where he is, So few people can do what it takes to swim year round.

"Actually what you said is incorrect." he's 6'4"

An Olmpic size pool is 50 metres in length. It's about 164 ft. The taller you are the bigger advantage you have. If a swimmer that was 5'5 competed with a swimmer that was 7'1 and they trained equally hard who would logically win? You right about Phelp's body, that's the point I was trying to make to the other guy.

phelps won by like .1 sumthin..xD
-
7'1 is too tall for swimming, Phelps is such a phenominal swimmer for two reasons, 1 - he trains very hard and 2nd - His body is perfect for swimming, from his total height to the length of his legs, to the webbing of his fingers and toes

My point is biology and your physical characteristics have a huge role to play in your development as an athelete.
Heart and Spirit alone can't make you good at a sport. If that were so, everyone who ever played a sport recreationally would be incredible at it.

Actually what you said is incorrect. You also have to be gifted with biological abnormalities such as height or flexibility. Michael Phelps has double jointed ankles and is 6'5, those are two very important factors that have contributed to his success. Most swimmers are 6'0 or taller. Think about it, if Michael phelps was 5'9 and not double jointed but still trained as hard as he could would he be able to beat even Ryan Lochte? Lochte is behind Phelps in most world records.
