Found a fish, can't name it, can you help?

I'm no expert, but I think that swimming could actually make you taller. Not by a lot, not inches or anything. If you measure yourself in the morning and then when you go to sleep you height has changed. Why? Because the weight of your body has compressed your spine a bit. By swimming you are spending time with your body fully extended with minimal force compressing your spine. So not only are you "resting" the compression process, but you are working your back muscles while they are in this relaxed state, thus making it possible that your back will resist this compression once you return to a vertical position.
You can buy inverter tables that are supposed to help stretch you back out. I hear those can add an inch or so over long periods of time and consitent use. But sorry, you're not going to gain multiple inches or a foot by swimming or probably anything else you do except grow naturally.
