I guess this could be for the guys too....
I was watching our HS swim team a few weeks ago. I notice that all the girls were wearing 2 suits and leg tights. I too wear the 2 suits, but tights?? I asked one of the girls why?
She replied " for drag"
The leg tights was new to me, does any of us mature swimmers wear tights for drag.
This happens a lot before big meets or when you shave for a meet, but it isn't your taper meet. In high school girls used to shave for conference, but not taper until Sectionals (where you make state cuts) ... for the practices between conference and sectionals they would wear tights.
I've been known to throw on a pair right before a big meet, but they really weigh down your legs and I think negatively impacted my breaststroke if it's possible for that to get worse ...
