9Lives said:Yep all the swimmers have a larger than life wingspan (compared to normal)...me included. Most of us started at an early age. I actually can't remember when i first started swimming. My trainer told me she used to help me but my clothes on cause i was so little at the time lol. My arms are so long and stretched out that my armpit hair actually grows way lower on my arm..not in the pit haha
Basically the ideal swimmer body..is like the men's room sign...foot size also counts alot..

So what you are saying is that you are basically at the stage three from the left. You have not even discovered how to make spears yet. Obviously for Phelps the ability to swim fast as he does comes from the fact that he still has to swim after his fish if he wants to eat, as opposed to the next step in evolution where we use spears to catch our fish. Unfortunately this means that the none swimmers of us, with regular arm spans, seem to be at the stage on the far right. This, unfortunately probably too true, means that even tho Phelps is a neanderthal the rest of us are slowly turning into whales and will soon return to the water from which we came only to be hunted down by the Phelps' of the planet. Vicious circle if you ask me.
