Swim Camp For Adults! https://skillswimming.com/swimming-camp/ . Thank you! There are many questions about height and its relationship to swimming. The most common that we get are: Do tall swimmers have an advantage? … Why do the best swimmers we see on TV always seem so tall? … Does swimming make you taller?… The first time I swam against a much taller swimmer was at Mexican Nationals. I qualified to the  100 backstroke final. I am 1.80 meters tall and I felt small next to the 2 meter swimmer. My friend Daniel was the shortest at 1.74. The tall swimmer was an Olympian and held the national record in that event. None of us could catch him. I remember thinking, if only I was that tall... a few years later Daniel broke the national record and then another Daniel even shorter than him broke his record. Now I realize that height is not as important as I thought.
