Thanks to all who responded to my other post...don't stop! I appreciate what you all have to say, even if it's the same as everyone else.
I think I have a good idea of what you all think about my question, but I'm slow and I like numbers, so this poll is just an addition to my original post.
The question, again, is - can I, a beginning swimmer, benefit from shaving down in order to get a better feel for the water and be more aware of my movements in the water? A former swimmer / good friend suggested I do this.
Thanks in advance for your continued response.
You don't sound comfortable with the idea. Is your friend pressuring you to do this but you don't really want to? In that case, just say "no, I don't want to do that." Any friend should respect your choice.
If you're reasonably comfortable with giving it a try, I can't imagine it would do any harm. It might or might not help, and hair grows back, so it's not a permanent decision. If it turns out not to help, you can always tell your friend "I told you so." :p
