What are you talking about?

Anthony Ervin is the oldest member of the swim team. He is part Jewish, Native America, and black American so he is diverse in an of himself. I also bet that all of the other swimmers have a lot of ethnic diversity in their genes.

There are also teenage, 20 something, and 30 something year old swimmer. There is lots of age diversity on our team this year.

The physical attributes of the swimmers themselves - we have blondes and brunettes and long hair and short haired, etc., swimmers so there is diversity in appearance.

Quit trying to start mess where there is none.

Go USA !!

You really want to know?




The best swimmers tend to be tall and thin with long arms, long legs, long feet, and long hands. The size of their hands gives them great "water grasp", and only a very small hand movement keeps them afloat.


I am 5'7", as a female swimmer, I am the average height.

In my opinion, you really don't need diversity in sports. May the strongest and best win.

Think too much.

This is a joke right? You put your fastest swimmers on the team. Their race is irrelevant. The people on the team had to compete for their spots. Nobody was just given their spot.

My daughter participates in swim at the youth level. It is a club team, but certainly no more expensive then other club sports. And actually, a whole lot less than some other sports. I paid about $1500 for soccer. Swim was $200. But, swim doesn't seem to actually attract a lot of other races.
