do you guys shave your arm pit hair, if you swim quite often or like in school swimming day?

[bidude94]

Im on the swim team and i shave everything off except my head thats it because i just put on the cap

[Kitty Purry]

If you're in swimming, than most likely the guy will shave all body hair. Excluding hair on the head. I beleive they do this for speed. But if you're going swimming just for fun then there's no need for you to shave your body hair. :D hope I helped:D

I agree with that. I wouldnt shave my arm pit hair just to go swimming, its not something I'm ashamed of or feel the need to hide, its a natural part of growing up.

Yeah coming from my speed swimming days, i didn't shave anything...then again...i wasn't the greatest swimmer. If you feel it'll reduce drag, then go for it and shave off that millisecond of difference, If you don't swim/don't feel it'll help, then it's just a matter of preferance.

[Voleurz]

I'm swim but i don't shave for the purposes of swimming.

[goldbiospark]

No i dont get why

[thanpisit]

thanks

[Zero Beat]

Nope I don't. Then again I don't swim. I'll get you an answer! *texts friend* he doesn't. ^_^ I don't see the point, if it's for speed in the water, doesn't like, your arms take most of the force when swimming, how's a little hair under your arms
gonna change that? :)

I am a really good swimmer atleast third in New England and 1st in RHODE ISLAND swimmers shave to expose the nerve endings which makes you feel more fast its not about drag. Ive only shaved like four times and it grows back in around a day.
:cool:

[GeneralCrash70]

I'm a good swimmer, I used to be on a team, and I have never shaved my pits...

[ilovegirls15]

im not on a swim team so no i dont

[mikephelps]

I don't have any pit hair yet I don't have any hair yet but somw of the hair guys on my swim team did shave before a meet but not just for practice

[cota28]

nah, i don't. its not the olympics

[swimjoey]

i'm a swimmer and i shave my pubs and pit.

[kyle92]

well i dont swim for sport but i do shave my arm pits

[swimfreak85]

im a competitive swimmer and for really important meets or races i shave my legs arm and pits...but for fun or practice or wht evr i dont

[CestDan]

Well, I swim and I don't shave any body hair

[JackOfClubs]

I'm on a competitive swim team, but I don't shave anything. Some of the other guys do, some don't. For me, the extra few hundreths of a second isn't worth it, based on the fact that my times (50 free:27.37sec) aren't absolutely fantastic.

[Rower]

If it's recreational there is no need

[dhjgfdgrrr]

I don't do it

[GamerCody]

I wouldn't shave my pits for swimming..But thats just me...

[LeopardSox]

i don't see the point in shaving it unless i was doing it as a sport. otherwise it doesn't really matter

[DanielBoy]

Really it is a personal preference. I know allot of guys that shave just because they don't like the hair, and a few guys on the swim team that says if adds speed, but I don't think it does. If it is a school swim day, and you don't like your armpit hair, go ahead and shave it, but you really have no need to, unless you want to.

Hope this helped. :)

[suprise]

just swimming for one day... no need to shave dude...

[AwesomeAussie]

as i swim i have to shave every thing

[notsure101]

No, I dont swim competivley

[neigh]

i go to an all boy school where sports r a big deal.
all the guys in my school who swim shave thier arms, chest hair, under arm hair,
legs, some even shave thier heads. i really don't know how faster they can go.
-- not just my school but also the schools they swim against -- seen this also on
tv sport shows. as for my school they might as well let their hair grow long because they suck. lol last year i think they were 9th in a 10 league swim meet.

[Shum]

i used to swim so i shaved then..
but now even though i hav stopped i still shave everything :P
pubes, arms, butt, trail, chest... so yehh lol.
nothing to worry about :)

[JimSauce]

I shave my armpit hair regardless. I think it's gross to lift up your arm and have the Amazon sticking out

[Judas]

I only have a little so I'm not worried. But all the guys there most likely keep theirs. It's not that bothering.

[Tadgh]

When I was going to south of france on holidays there a month ago I shaved my armpit hair because I find it gets very sweaty in the heat.

[Jockstrap]

Try to keep your armpit hair even if you swim, ever guy should have arm pit hair.

[emmettman]

i'm not on a swim team but i love to swim, so no i don't shave my armpits

[JoshD]

We have to shave everything, including head on my team. But the head is more for tradition... haha, but I'm not bald right now so thats good. I have nice hair :)

[Shadowhunter]

I swim on my high school team and I don't shave my armpits, never have.

[howdy]

I don't.

[talien]

if you are a swimmer, then yeah, it would make sense to shave

[sztegosz]

ive never shaved

[emmettman]

i think it's normal for a swimmer
