[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] I never considered the correlation but it tracks in our extended family among nieces and nephews, and my own twin boys. The kids in our extended family who grew tallest did minimal sports, if any. The twin who did not do a daily sport grew taller by inches. But, I also saw plenty in club sports shooting up in height so I doubt it can be that much of a factor.[/quote]
