[quote=Anonymous]My short daughter was once doing a butterfly race. At the halfway point they were dead even. Their strokes became synchronized. As they both reached for the wall at the same moment, it was hard to tell who had won. Turns out the taller girl with the longer arm, won by over a second. Is my short daughter at a disadvantage? Yes. Sometimes she feels odd lining up next to girls that are twice her weight and over a foot taller, but she loves swimming and she loves winning. She works hard in the pool and it shows. My son is tall and it has not helped him win races. There is much more to swimming fast than height. [/quote]
