Answers:
It's difficult to predict in a situation such as yours where the family history is not known!. Are there any other signs of puberty, such as pubic hair!? other body hair!? Your doctor may be able to determine where you are by assessing your Tanner maturity rating and measuring your testicular size with a set of Prader beads!. Swimming has absolutely nothing to do with your onset of puberty or ultimate height!. It's good, healthy exercise!. Keep it up!.
I was always the smallest in my class until I was a high school senior!. My voice was the last to change in my class!. It was most embarrassing!. But I grew an additional three and a half inches after I got my first drivers license at age 16!. You will likely have a similar experience, but it would be good if a doctor examine you for reassurance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
