The last answer stated that yes swimming would stunt your growth but however that is totally wrong. If you swim to much you might hurt yourself but you wont stunt your growth. Look at Michael phelps he swims 6 hours a day and you expect me to believe it stunted his growth. The avg height for the previous 8 finalists for the U.S olympic swim was 6 FT 5 IN (wikipedia). Swimming makes your spine longer. Now excessive Weightlifting is detrimental to height for the fact that you can fracture your growth plate. back to swimming, swimming is a low impact sport so you will not stunt growth but you might drown.

No. The fact that gymnastics stunts your growth is a myth. It's all genetics and puberty.
Soap water on plant growth?
Using soapy water on plants can potentially harm them, as the soap can strip away the plant's natural protective waxes and oils, leading to dehydration and susceptibility to diseases. It is best to avoid using soapy water on plants and instead opt for gentle, plant-safe alternatives for pest control and cleaning.
Martial arts growth stunts?
Nope, unless the art you are practicing has a large emphasis on gymnastics. Even Capoiera doesn't have any growth stunt issues. Best wishes!
