I never shaved my pits. Probably should have.
The discomfort outweighs any benefits that may arise from this activity. I speak from experience. I'll never do it again.
I shave for nationals - legs up to speedo-line and wear a legsuit. As someone mentioned, the hairs will come through if you don't get rid of them. Not that a few will slow you down, but even with the legs on, the shave still feels awesome. While I do think a lot of shaving is mental, you won't see me testing my theory in a big meet any time soon.
