I’m talking about the kind of information that you don’t normally share with others. For example, I once went three weeks without washing my swim towel, but I find it disgusting when other people lick the inside of their goggles to keep them from fogging. I also pretend that I don’t care about racing anymore, but secretly I still look at everyone's times.
What are some of your swimming secrets?
I never use soap.
I figure if you can't get clean from being immersed in chlorinated water many hours each week, soap's not going to help you anyway.
That kind of dirt, no solvent is likely to remove.
I agree, soap's overrated. The cavemen (and cavewomen!) survived without soap.
