Question

1want to try out for my schools swim team but am not sure. i just don't think i am tall enough. i have good swiming skills it's just my height i feel down about. i'm 51 and way 98lbs.i'm not sure i'm tall enoguh though. may i should just try. and what does it take.

Answer 1

height doesnt have anything 2 do with it

you need endurance and strength in your legs and arms

Answer 2

I think you should try it!  I don't think height is such a big deal.

You need determination and lots of time.  You also need to be a good team player--in this case, that means you might have to swim events that are not your favorite in order to earn points for your team.

Also check to see if your school has a diving team.  You might be great at that, too!

Answer 3

You're trying out for womens swimming?

Then you're fine....

What it takes is the desire to swim.... stroke after stroke after stroke after stroke after stroke after stro..... Well you get it.

Good luck!!

Answer 4

it doesn't matter how tall u are.

usually the look for kids who know all or alot about the terms and stuff like that Ex: 200s,50s,25s, IMs,etc.  they want fast people to swim so if you're BAD and i mean just started swimming isuggest no. But if your pretty fast then maybe. with swimming you don't always just swim, coaches  make u do push-ups, sit-ups, running,jumping jacks,pull-ups. and other things so watchout. be prepared to get tired it takes alot more than it looks like. make sure you practice practice practice it makes a huge difference hope it helps
