What is the earliest age to allow for shaving down? My 10 year old son is .4 off of his 50 Free zone time, 1.5 off of his 100 time, .3 off on 50 back, and .2 50 fly. He has been growing his head hair since August, he has shaved his head, on his own choice in the past, for 3 large meets. He usually drops time with the head shaved, but I am hesitant to allow him to shave down the skin at age 10. I say no. But, any info out there on how early swimmers do shave down?
