Every kids who can't play football or basketball swims. That's why I swam.

Next time you may want to respond appropriately to the person whose contention is that swimmers are disproportionately built.

Don't be so desperate for praise. Everyone here understands that you are in great shape. That is a good thing.

Only bdb says they are disproportionate. Most of us are saying that they look exceptionally fit.

Well we weren't discussing your average run of the mill high school swimmer, we're talking about the olympic swimmers, and they have an odd build. They even said on tv last night that Greve's arm span is significantly longer than his height, and he's also got a pair of shorty legs. They all do, that's why they're the best.
