In the past few years, I've shaved and tapered for one big meet each year. Last year was SCY Nationals. I do taper for 1 or 2 other meets during the year but generally don't shave. I'm debating if I should shave for a small meet this weekend and wear the fastskin body suit in an attempt to make the 100 free QT for nationals next spring. Last meet (2 weeks ago) I was about 1 sec out without shave, taper or fastskin. With the taper, will the shave and suit give me that second?
