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.

And that is the million dollar question. It is my opinion that it would be a waste of time to shave down at this point. But hey, what do you have to lose? Some time, shaving cream, and a razor or two? It seems like you have SOME desire to do this since it has been posted in two seperate threads now. I would not do it but I think that maybe youi should just so you can see what it's all about. No regrets.
