Should wearing a FastSkin suit give the same performance benefits of shaving whatever area the FastSkin covers?
Also, do people generally only wear them for "big meets" - like how swimmers would typically only shave for big meets? i.e. do college kids today wear them for all dual meets, or only for championships? Would you lose some of the benefit if you wore them too much?
Thanks for any info!

This link may offer you some insight. There is definitely a benefit...and some people swear by them.
The 'fit' may depend on how comfortable you feel with the suit as far as range of motion. Some swimmers don't want to restrict their movements...and that's probably why you'll see some with only knee length suits. (This may be true, particularly for breaststrokers.)
