Doesn't the height also give him an edge on the length of the dive. There is also an equation for the maximum speed of a sailboat through water (1.34x the squareroot of the hull at LWL;low water level), and Phelps has mentioned that his torso is unusually long. O f course I don't know if there can be any similarity here but at least for boats, length is a factor.

And now hes 15, i wonder how much fat he has now. i think less, he is crazy about sports. And he had a six pack at the age of 12-13 years old. Thats crazy.

I've read lots of other fitness blog posts on Michael Phelps but yours by far is the most detailed I've seen. I never knew about his low blood lactate level or his "made for swimming physique". Not that this makes his achievements any less impressive. He has worked very hard all his life to become the best at what he does. I have a quick question. Would I be able to re-publish your article in my Free Fitness Tips Newsletter at the end of this month? I will of course provide a recommendation for your blog and a few links back if you let me re-publish. Please let me know. Fantastic post Mun.
