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 often wonder how much of a time drop I'd get if I shaved. I kept on saying I'd do it during the team's season, but now that's over and I'm still a forest. If you know me, you know shaving for me wouldn't exactly be anything less than a massive, epic endeavor. I'd be shaving long enough for environmentalists to pop up on the hairless areas of my skin crying about deforestation. I mean, I'm not saying if I shaved, I'd have like a "OH MY GOD IN HEAVEN A FIVE SECOND DROP" result, but I'm almost positive I'd cut a second or two. I'm half Italian, after all.
As for the tops of feet... why would the coach have said not to shave that area? I don't get what the benefit there is supposed to be. Looking at the tops of my feet, it looks like two cockroaches are using them to sunbathe. I'm pretty sure that doesn't help in the water.
