In college our coach always said do not shave the insides or your arm or tops of your feet. Is this truly any better than shaving it all? I guess its to grab more water, but I dont think shaving is to reduce drag, its more for the feel. So which one does everyone think is more beneficial?
I don't shave the insides of my arms. You don't want to reduce the drag on that surface. The phase of the stroke where you start pulling water is called the "catch" after all, not the "slip." :)
In all honesty, it probably doesn't make much difference, but I guess I'm old school.
