Can swimming make u taller, when starting at the age of 19?
Question:hey guys. i want to be a police officer. and i want to be the best. along with having a sharp mind, all officers need to be physically fit. and i am trying to reach that goal at the moment. even though i know most male officers are well bent out of shape, but i want to be really good at it. and the other thing i noticed was that nearly all male officers are tall, around over 6 ft. im around 5, 9 to 5,10. and i want to be taller, the reason for this is because i think it will give me a physical advantage when confronting hostile situations. and i know swimming can help u become taller. but the problem is i am 19, and i cant swim, i know i can take lessons and will do so, i am still not sure whether i will get taller. most tall swimmers start at a very young age, and i am worried therefore i wont grow. i dont really need to grow by a large amount. just 2-4 inches would be perfect. and if it can help me grow taller, how often and how long should i swim??
please giv me your advice

Sure you can get taller. Swimming usually makes your shoulders broad though. Try swimming for about 3 times a week. surely NOT everyday or you'll get sore from all the exercise. Basketball or anything JUMPY will help you grow taller.Anyone going to World Championship Trials in august?
