Answer 1

sure, why not. But do you really wanna get your *** kicked by Michael Phelps every race?

Answer 2

With hard work and dedication you can do anything that you put your mind and heart to.

Good luck!

Answer 3

No doubt, you can still get started, never say never. Just make sure you are going to be ready to dedicate all of your time to swimming. I know now that the Olympics have just ended & everyone is still really excited and are on a "Phelps high" but in two years are you still going to be as dedicated, or is it just a spur of the moment thing? Make sure you will be willing to work a lot!

"sure, why not. But do you really wanna get your *** kicked by Michael Phelps every race?"

I'm a swimmer and Michael Phelps could beat my *** everynight ;) hahaaha

Answer 4

Have you competed in the past?

Usually long, lankier builds are more successful.

Look at Phelps and Torres.

I swam with Dara in the 80's and she was long and lanky.

Then again, you can do whatever you set your mind to.

I wish you well!

Answer 5

Try it. If you're a good swimmer with good technique, you might be able to pull some decent times. If you find you're not built for swimming or you don't like it, you don't have to continue. You never know until you try.  

Answer 6

I think your body is fine but not fit enough for olympics. You should exercise more than.
