Swimmers & Shaving

[SwimTech]

Hey swimmers. I was on a swim team growing up but quit after 3rd grade. This year I am a freshman and decided to join my high schools swim team. My question is: What do you shave, how much, and when? I'm talking sectionals, conference, etc. Thanks!

Ehh, I don't really shave much for swim reasons. I do periodically shave my pubes and happy trail for the smoothness, and it helps to glide in the water better, but not too much. I shave my underarms for actual swim meets, but not practice. IDK, I don't shave too much for swim reasons.

Most swimmer shave almost all their hair off, pubics, leeds, arms, and armpits. But I see no need to arms and leggs Hell, what do I know ask some kids on the team what they shave?

Hey if you're lucky they'll show you.

Thanks guys. And to Skybar, I would, but I don't want to be laughed at, and I wish about the showing! lol...that would never happen though...

legs arms chest pits, mabye pubs, you may want to ask a teamate rather than you coach ( less embarasing )

i shave my legs, arms, and i trim my armpit hair because when you shave it and it starts to grow back it itches

Well it depends but mostly is all the hair chest, armpit, happy trail and legs it can be pubes. I dont and im a swimmer some others do but not all

[mikephelps]

I'm a swimmer too. I don't have anything to shave yet but a lot of the guys on my team shave anything not covered by speedos or swim cap

i once was a swimmer but on water sports when doing board diving you have short hair to stop splash and aerodynamics so that it just does not cause you to hit the water off the target
