It's not accurate to say one gender is definitively "better" at swimming overall; men and women often excel in different aspects of swimming.
The provided reference suggests a nuanced perspective:
- Men: Due to greater upper body strength, men often perform better in shorter, faster swims.
- Women: Due to body composition more suited for buoyancy and endurance, women tend to excel in longer swims.
Therefore, "better" depends on the specific swimming context (distance, speed, etc.). There is no single definitive answer.
