I have been a swimmer for about 7 or 8 years but I have never shaved my legs before, and the swimming team for my school starts in November. I have been training since summer, and I was wondering how many swimmers actually shave, and how does it help? should I shave my legs? and if so, should I do it now so I can get used to it?

Maglischo refers to a study demonstrating a 5% increase in distance per stroke cycle with shaving; in other words, drag was reduced.
