In swimming, I think you'd have to go long course, open ocean, where a woman's body fat percentage works in her favor. I haven't looked at the data, but I wouldn't be surprised if the female world record for crossing the English Channel is pretty close to the men's record.

In a state like Florida, I'd probably go with the high school player. Just too much difference in how hard men and women hit the ball.
