After watching all these graphics about swimmers and their wingspans, I am now curious.

Height - 71"
Wing span - 77"

Unfortunately I have a short torso and long legs. Apprently a no can has for being a good swimmer. Phelps just dodged a bullet.

wing span is finger tip to finger tip?

69" wingspan
67" height.

shorter torso, slightly longer legs.
I'm terrible at swimming, unless it's a back crawl.

Maybe you shouldn't have had your arms amputated at the elbows.

A la "wingspan," I've always considered a better descriptive term for "tread" or "Q factor" would be "crankspan." Agreed?

I've always been told your wingspan = your height, but this totally disproves that notion.

I think it's always been more like

span ~ height
