Reasons for Success in Competitive Swimming among Various Human Races
2014
It is very interesting to learn that though some consider swimming as Athletic Sports but when we consider the best sportspersons in swimming and running, there is a totally different result in terms of Human Race. It made us interested to find out the reason, why Swimming is not dominated by the Black race, what physical disadvantages they have in swimming. Also what physical advantages an Asian have in comparison with Dravidian to lead the Swimming World after White race! As we have analysed physical factors, there are some prominent structural difference in between 'black' and 'white' races which clarifies why White people are good in swimming. But these cannot reflect a clear difference in performance between Chinese and Dravidian. The question remains, what might be the determined factors behind the performance of a swimmer! The other factors can be (a) socio-cultural factor, (b) financial factor and most importantly (c) technical factor. We do differentiate between 'blacks' and 'white' swimmers in that line of arguments. But if we again come to compare between Chinese and Dravidians swimmers, it is difficult to get support from data in this context. Thus there should be another important factor by which we can explain the missing link. That may be the factor by which a swimmer can overcome his or her physical, socio-cultural as well as financial draw-backs. That factor may reveal the reason behind the success of Chinese swimmers in recent past. This factor may point out the reason behind absence of Dravidians in international swimming though they are very close to Chinese in terms of other factors. That missing link is identified as ‘technical factor’. Despite having adverse physical factor upto certain extend, it can be overcome by Systematic Training Pattern, Proper Filtration of Talent with Social recognition and Financial Support.
