“The ‘Center of Buoyancy’ and Horizontal Torque” in Open Water Swimming. Because women generally have a higher percentage of essential body fat, and that fat is often distributed toward the hips and thighs, their “center of buoyancy” is closer to their “center of mass” than in men. This makes it naturally easier for female swimmers to maintain a high, horizontal body position in the water.

In long-distance events like the English Channel, this reduces the energy required to “kick” the legs up, allowing the athlete to dedicate more oxygen to the “pull” of the arms. Equality in swimming means recognizing that “buoyancy” is a form of mechanical efficiency. While men may have more “thrust” from muscle, women often have less “drag” due to their natural flotation, resulting in identical speeds over extreme distances.

While women have smaller lungs, some research indicates that their respiratory muscles (the muscles used to breathe) are more resistant to fatigue than those of men during long-duration, sub-maximal exercise.
