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.

Some of the suits are made like this.
Textile fabric in the suit is water resistant because the fabric when knitted or woven tight provides a limited barrier between the body and the water. It will reduce drag and allows the swimmer to sit higher in the water and therefore allows less drag and restrictions.
