1) ok so i decided to swim in meets this year, my question is about suits that are acceptable during meets.Since there are lots of people with extensive experience here then maybe you could help me choose one, types etc.
2) do you use racing suit ONLY during competition or sometimes when you do race pace during practice?
3) do you shave? - but of course! what a dumb question!
Thanks!:)

I have only done meets for fun. Wore a speedo brief practice suit. Didn't shave. Didn't taper.
There will be a broad spectrum of preparedness of the meet participants. You can just show up in your practice gear and fit in fine.
I just wanted to chime in so you didn't think tech suits and shaving down are the norm for a masters meet. They will be there racing too, but there will be plenty of "normal" people too :)
