hey guys, im a guy, and i need to get taller, as i want to be a police officer. im roundabout 5ft 9. and i wish to be atleast 6ft. i am going to take up swimming lessons in january, and i am also doin cycling at the same time. i hope swimming can make me grow a few inches, but im worried that as i am only 5 months away from turning 20, my chances of growing more are gone, and i will be stuck with this height. so will i be able to grow or not, and if i can will swimming help me.
p.s is it really difficult to learn how to swim?
i had asked this question before but didnt get the responses i needed. so sorry to bother again. i really need your help?? thanx.

You don't need to be a certain height to be a police man anymore, there are female officers now and they are obviously quite short. I've never heared of getting taller from swimming though is that true? If so I'm going to take it up me thinks! You stop growing when your 21.

Good medical professionals say most men discontinue growing with the aid of 18 however somegrow till the age of 21. What i recommend u is that put your pleasant efforts & c what happens.So in a while u'll not regret that u have not tried. And swimming, cycling, skating,enjoying basketball or doing stretching workout routines of yoga will undoubtedly aid u out. I might recommend you to take multivitamins & have just right protein consumption eg: eggs, meat. Also a procedure which helped me lots to achieve peak was once after taking part in basket ball i use to hold myself on the basket ball poles. It worked, so do not loosen ur coronary heart & supply ur quality efforts. Satisfactory of success.

I don't think you will have a problem height wise, joining the police, at 5ft 9 ins you should be well tall enough and as far as swimming making you taller, you may gain half an inch. good luck in whatever you do.

If you really wanted to join the police you would know there is no longer a height restriction........there is nothing you can do to increase your height.There is an operation that involves breaking both legs and being in traction,during which the traction is ever so slightly moved to increase bone growth.This is for very small people though.

I seriously doubt that swimming will help. However, if it doesn't sound too 'girly' for you, try Pilates. Aside from focusing on posture, and helping to create longer muscles, I actually know 2 people who have added an inch or more to their height because of Pilates in a short period of time. It couldn't hurt, and it might help.

I don't think that swimming will help and I also don't think you should worry about it. 5-9 is fine and I doubt very much if that will fall under the height requirement.
Don't be always thinking about your height and worrying about it, or you'll go crazy.

I think working yourself hard will make you taller. because I live near a military home in El Salvador and I noticed ALL of them are tall and square. Sleeping is good too. Eating healthy, sleep, and excerise can make you thin and tall.

No, it won't help you grow. The exercise may help your general health, but it won't make you taller.
(have someone teach you how to swim, or it could make you dead.) Seriously, not really hard to learn.
