I have noticed Olympians and also at meets I have been at over the last six weeks that people are getting their suit wet before they race. I have always recommended that you do not dive in the water with a wet swim suit. Many suits are made of closely knit material and are water proof. Water droplets can not pass through these suits.
I have been telling swimmers not to wet the suit before they race. The reports back to me is that they are faster wearing a completely dry swim suit before they enter the water. Comments please.
Back when all we had was Lycra, we used to splash ourselves. I always assumed that it was less of a "shock" when you hit the water, and so could get right to the business of swimming. Or, it was just a little ritual to keep our minds occupied.
