Shaving for nationals

You betcha. Any excuse to swim fast. Once a swimmer always a swimmer.

First nationals experience coming up. Do masters swimmers shave for these meets? Even if your not a top 10 finisher? I do everything I can to not come in DFL, including shaving.

Yes, I do, but many people will not be shaved, so do whatever floats your boat.

It depends, do you want to go about 1 sec. per 100 faster or not? Shave, you'll feel faster and swim faster.

You betcha. Any excuse to swim fast. Once a swimmer always a swimmer. I agree. Why train hard all year and then not shave? That said, plenty of people don't shave.

I have noticed as I am getting older that my legs do not need to be shaved anymore = older is faster ??
