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.

Well doctors say most men stop growing by 18 but somegrow till the age of 21. what i suggest u is that put your best efforts & c what happens.So later on u'll not regret that u haven't tried. And swimming, cycling, skating,playing basketball or doing stretching exercises of yoga will surely help u out.
I would suggest you to take multivitamins & have good protein intake eg: eggs, meat.
Also a method which helped me a lot to gain height was after playing basket ball i use to hang myself on the basket ball poles. It worked, so don't loosen ur heart & give ur best efforts. Best of luck.

No swimming will make you fitter but not taller. you may grow a little more but everyone stops growing by 21 and apart from growth hormones which could be dangerous you get what you're given im afraid.

Nothing will make you taller, you are at your maximum height by now.
Swimming isnt difficult to learn, its great fun and a wonderful exercise...;
