Is 174 cm considered tall for an asian guy, 16 years of age?

Well I've been trying to get taller and swimming was one of the exercise I did to get taller. I searched in the internet and most of it said that it does made me taller. I've been swimming for 2 to 3 months and swimming about almost everyday during the holidays but since I'm in school, I did it for only 3 times a week around 30 minutes or more. I'm not getting taller at all for the past 2 to 3 months. Is it because I didn't get 8 hours of sleep or any other factors? Plus is there anything that can make me taller faster?

    Height is all dependent on your genetics & where you live.

    You cannot get "taller" by doing any exercises, the only way you will grow is through your usual growth spurts. A healthy diet does aid in height growth as your body uses a lot of energy to grow your bones and muscles. Sleep will also aid in growing because when you sleep, that is when your body is repairing itself - Repairing muscles, bone, basically everything!

    The human male doesn't stop growing until the age of 21. You will still grow after 21, you just won't have huge growth spurts as you do now as a teenager.

    As for being tall as an Asian, i guess you are kinda tall.

    The average height for a male in China is 169cm - but the average height for a male in the U.S is 178cm.

    I hope I helped! (:

    its all genetics bro, all the factors that come in to achieve maximum height were when you started growing taller(first stage puberty). theres a chance you might grow a little taller depending on your genetics but if your already taller than your parents then you probably wont grow.

    It is illegal dude would you like to get locked up? Although women are by means of a ways extra mature than ladies her maturity at 16 continues to be not competable with yours. There are nonetheless components of her mind which has but to be develope. In finding anyone 18-23 that isn't rough being that there is wayyy extra women than guys. Are you willing to attend three years to have sex with her? Age aint nothing however a quantity, but I doubt you are a shy little male virgin at 23. Depart her alone dude.
