Just curious. What % would you estimate wore the "fastskin" slippery suits? What % shaved? For those of you who wore conventional swimwear did you feel at a disadvantage?

  • I'm wearing a TYR suit. My wife said she would leave me if I ever shaved my chest again...it took 2 months to grow back last time. $200 for a new suit is a a lot less expensive than a divorce. I seem to get similar results wearing the suit to swimming shaved. You should always swim your best times at nationals because you should be peaking and you should be tapered. I've been wearing the suit at every meet since I got it, in the past I only shaved for championship meets. So it's pretty hard to compare apples and oranges.
