Do swiming help in increasing  the height and  body weight?

Well, this is a no and yes question.\n\nAs far as increasing height, that is a big no.  Height is predetermined by genetics, diet and hormones.  With hormones, I'm speaking of growth hormone not adrenaline. If you seriously wanted to know tall you are going to grow, you can actually go to a bone specialist.  What they would do is measure the spacing in your joints to give you a good estimation of what your height will eventually be.\n\nWith the body weight, swimming is the best exercise for all the muscle groups in your body.  It is a great way to stay in shape and burn a lot of calories.  What eventually happens is that you start to burn fat in exchange for building muscle.  Muscle weighs more than fat.  That's where you get the weight gain from.  But don't worry! This is a healthy weight gain, so keep it up!\n\nSo in summary, big "NO" to the height.  "Yes" to the weight gain.

for body fat it would be running then jump rope. How ever swimming lets you exercise muscles you never thought you used

Just swimming will never make you "slim".  You may loss some weight in the beginning but you will never become totally tone.  If you look at a lot of swimmers, they are bigger builds, broad shoulders and such.  Any exercise needs to be supplemented with healthy eating habits.

I will go for swimming - you are talking toning not building\n\nThe bench press thing is second to aerobics in your case. Please read this about the myth of toning\n\nhttp://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/goulet5.htm\n\n ^_^

yes swimming is a great way to lose weight. its a cardio work out which is one of the quickest ways to lose, and it builds muscle tone at the same time.

Yes. You can grow taller, and not gain weight as you do, which will make you look thinner as your original weight redistributes in your body.\n\nYou can also get sick in some way and start losing weight without knowing you are sick. (Diabetes or something.)

- You can increase your height.\n- Not through tablets but very simple excercises.\n- Like you i have gaing some 3 inches with simple and hurtless excercises which treats with you neck, hip and  legs to gain wait with 3 to 6 months.\n- For that explanation of excercise postures you need photo illustrations which i cannot make in in the net.\n- But i can suggest you to get a Height gaining excercise book in the local book shop or in a local library.\n- all the best.\n----------------------------

There is no way to increase your height. Just have to deal with how your body grows. But, you can practise standing, sitting, and walking straight up. It won't make you taller, but it'll be good for posture.

Swimming for exercise\nSwimming does not significantly reduce weight and it is l poorly understood as a meassure for reducing fat. There are many other be nifits in swimming. Please read -\n\nA still-water swimming machine where the swimmer exercises against the pull of a bungee cord.Swimming is a good form of exercise. Because the density of the human body is approximately similar to that of water, the body is supported by the water and less stress is therefore placed on joints and bones. Therefore, swimming is frequently used as an exercise in rehabilitation after injuries or for those with disabilities.\n\nResistance swimming is one form of swimming exercise. It is done either for training purposes, to hold the swimmer in place for stroke analysis, or to enable swimming in a confined space for athletic or therapeutic reasons. Resistance swimming can be done either against a stream of water set in motion by a (usually) self-contained mechanical device (often termed a swimming machine) or by holding the swimmer stationary by means of elastic attachments.\n\nSwimming is primarily an aerobic exercise due to the relatively long exercise time, requiring a constant oxygen supply to the muscles, except for short sprints where the muscles work anaerobically. As with most aerobic exercise it is believed to reduce the harmful effects of stress. While aerobic exercises usually burn fat and help with losing weight, this effect is limited in swimming, even though being in cold water burns more food energy to maintain body temperature.\n\nThe reason that swimming does not significantly reduce weight is still poorly understood, but seems to be related to the better heat conduction of water. A number of reasons are suspected.\n\nWater cools the body much faster than air and most researchers believe that subsequently the body aims to maintain a layer of fat under the skin for insulation. \nIt is believed that appetite decreases as the body temperature increases, as for example during exercise. However, during swimming the body is cooled down almost instantly as the surrounding water is usually cooler than the body temperature, and some researchers believe that this may actually increase the appetite. This assumption is not yet proven by research. \nFast swimming requires a high level of effort, meaning glycogen rather than fat is burned. Prolonged exercise at lower intensity is better for fat-burning. \nSome researchers also believe that the metabolism of the body increases at higher body temperature, burning more food energy. Again, during swimming the body is cooled down by the surrounding water, reducing the metabolism, and subsequently the amount of food energy burnt. This assumption is also not yet proven by research. \nThere is also a theory that people with a genetically higher body fat content tend to be more successful as swimmers since the increased buoyancy of the fat aids in floatation or the rounder shapes offer less resistance to the water. \nSwimming exercises almost all muscles in the body. Usually, the arms and upper body are exercised more than the legs. In competitive swimming, excessive leg muscles can be seen as a disadvantage as they consume more oxygen, which would be needed for the muscles in the arms, although this depends on the swimming style. While breaststroke generates significant movement with the legs, front crawl propels the body mainly with the arms.\n\nSometimes the swimming consists of swimming laps using a conventional stroke, such as the front crawl; other forms can include different forms of exercise performed in the water, such as water aerobics.\n\nSwimming may be good for asthma sufferers.\n\nSwimming uses all three energy production systems, which are the creatine phosphate system, anaerobic fermentation (also known as Lactic acid buildup system), and the aerobic system. These three systems produce energy in form of ATP to enable muscle use (among other body functions).

with the proper diet swimming is great exercise.  It works several parts of your body while causing very little strain on the joints.

no.  However, safety in numbers, hopefully you know how to swim, always obey posted signs and always obey the life guard.  Swimmers ability is always a factor but should not be the only factor.

Swimming is a great way to lose fat... It's Possibly the best way to get ripped without stepping into a gym.

Yep good answers.  I also jumped rope to increase my vertical when I trained for the high jump.  Worked really well.

From what I know, swimming helps because you lose weight while  working your legs out in a minimal capacity, so they get lean. That or you could try walking a lot, so as not to work out your legs too hard but still losing weight.

just swim, don't worrry about it.  if you swim hard and don't eat a bunch of junk, you should trim down.  i went through the same thing, except i was a lot bigger.  i was about 5'3" and weighed 230, swam for 4 years and now i am 6'3" and weigh 240.  i started when i was twelve, and was severely obese, and now i am very athletic and feel great, i can do a lot more now.  but just keep swimming and don't eat a bunch of junk. and if you can, try to eat five small meals a day.   have a small snack right after you swim, preferrably within 20mins.  it will take some work, the first two weeks will be the hardest, but you can do it.  good luck and have fun.
