Does being completely hairless help in the water or something?

hence a lot of them have either skinheads or wear swimming caps.
Even if they were only using trunks, I doubt they'd have to shave their whole body.
still think they like to shave themselves though.
must be an olympic swimmers code or something.
Do they have to shave everything
Yes, he shaved it all.
gave it up though to do more skating
but i still go for the occasional swim now and again.
Why did he shave it all? I'm intrigued why he shaved "down there"
Might sound stupid, but I never really asked,
Very strange. Just an excuse to do something 'odd' if you ask me.
Plus i kinda like my rugs, in a weird sort of way.
Sorry, you say you understand why they do it but then you don't explain. I too understand to a certain extent why they shave exposed areas, although I'm not over convinced that body hair increases drag to that extent. But why do they shave around the genital area which is covered anyway. I still think it's weird. :eek:
I figured that if I shaved off my excess hair, then I would appear to be more attractive to girls when I go swimming!
I don't even think there is any proven significant advantage to it and you can't even test it reliably due to other variables, other things are going to have a far greater effect. What next? Nose jobs to reduce drag? :rolleyes:
Desperation!
