How common is it for people to shave down for Master's meets? When I competed in college (a looong time ago), everyone shaved down. I was one of those people for which shaving always made a big difference.
So, do people do it for USMS ? I just started master's swimming, and have a meet coming up. I don't want to be the only shaved swimmer at the meet, and have folks thinking that I'm taking this too seriously..
Thanks for any info.
.....If you get a fastskin for a big meet remember they are faster dry,so do not wear them for warmup.
If your events are far enough apart, my coach even recommended changing right after your cool down after each race and drying it out. Start the warm up for the next race a few minutes earlier than you normally would then change back into it just before your heat/event is called.
