Turbulence increase speed?? So that’s why the announcers are always asking for us to cheer on the swimmers! The increased commotion and turbulence decreases drag.
I always wondered why we swam faster with a cheering crowd.
Thanks!
And back to the subject of drafting, I think USA-Swimming did some extensive studies a few years back. For those who are really interested in this, they should contact USA-Swimming to see if they can get the scientific results.
