Just wanted to see how everybody shaves for meets or not?I heard different things on shaving:some shave legs and arms only, some -the entire body, some shave it with cream, some just get the body wet without cream, some shave DRY(CRAZY)!!!Supposedly the last helps get rid of some dead skin which gives you a much better feel for the water.Or, and another one I do not get:some shave even if they wear a body suit -what's up with that?
Well, I would like to hear about your experiences, how it feels to swim shaved and if it helped you to shave your time off too ...
Thanks.

I shave! This is what I do before a big meet (and I'm sure some of it is psychological but what the heck, it works):
I wear drag suits - two or three really ratty old ones - the week before. I let my leg hair grow at least a week, usually two to three weeks before.
The morning of the first day of the meet I get up really early and shave everthing - legs AND arms. I feel slick as an eel and combined with my competition suit, I feel really slick and "fast."
Then I have a bowl of oatmeal and a peanutbutter sandwich and it's all good and I'm ready for the 1650! :D
