I've been a competitive swimmer for over a decade, and let me tell you now; I'm 5'3'. Swimming or any sport does not increase your height. Height is determined by diet and genetics; serious body building is believed (I emphasis believed) to stunt the growth. But no, swimming has not been scientifically proven to increase your height, and by personal experience it has not increased mine! (My mother was 5'4' and my father was 5'10")
