[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest was a competitive swimmer (6 days, 18 hours a week) and he grew considerably when he stopped swimming at 17. I don’t know how much exactly but 2-3 inches. [/quote]

So swimming stunted his growth interesting [/quote]

Any sort of sport where you’re working that hard for that many hours would do it. Look at Dominique MoceanU in gymnastics. She was not even 5 feet at 14 and most girls are supposed to be done growing around then. When she stopped competitive gymnastics she shot up to 5’7.[/quote]

That doesn’t make much sense to me because swimmers are tall. Many of them are anyway.[/quote]

She was starved and abused by her coaches and told she was fat all the time. She did not experience a normal puberty. [/quote]

Oops, this was supposed to be in response to the previous post about Dominique moceanu. Yes, most successful swimmers are tall. But swimming doesn’t make you tall just like rowing crew doesn’t make you tall. It selects for tall people. [/quote]
