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.
Personally, I don't see the point at the level you are at. You are going to make improvements without the shaving because you are a newbie. You need to think more about the technique of learning to swim, and shaving is not going to help that greatly. When swimmers shave for their tapered meets, they are trying to eek out 10ths, or even 100ths.
