But trust there is nothing bulky about the female swimmers body - like most women athletes, the training of a swimmer leads to muscle development that the average woman never experiences. They too have well defined muscles, but because it shows mostly in their shoulders, triceps and biceps - it can come across as a little too broad or bulky. Ironically enough, a swimmers body type for women is a bit different. There long bodies combined with great posture makes for a regal effect. What sets apart the swimmers body from other athletic types is the noticeable lean-ness of their physique and broadness of their shoulders. For men, the swimmer's body type has broad shoulders, a medium to long torso and a flat as a board abdomen. His torso is lean and tone, with well defined (but not bulky) muscles.

The Swimmers Body: Look no further than record breaking Olympic Gold Medalist - Michael Phelps to find the picture perfect description of a swimmers body (for a man of course). I am going to discuss in detail four types of athletic physiques. It isn't uncommon to hear someone compare a mans build to that of a linebacker, or a womans build to that of a dancer. When someone thinks of their dream body type, they often use popular sports physique types to describe it.
