Does putting body lotion on before a meet help?

Hi, I have my league meet tomorrow, and I've already shaved my arms and legs, but my coach also said that putting body lotion on beforehand will help me too. Has anyone done this? If so, what brand lotion? I have "suave" at my house. Also, lately I have been feeling sluggish at practice since taper started, is that normal? And is my stroke supposed to feel "off" after shaving? because it did today. Thanks!

    We used to cake up with myoflex before big races. Slippery as hell once you hit the water.

    Thanks for the responses, but I think I'm going to skip lotioining up today. I should be smooth enough through the water since I shaved my arms/legs.
  • O K Thanx for the tip.
  • Ghoul, I responded to your questions in ASK ANDE Hope it helps. Ande

    *Vasoline, vasoline, vasoline. One time I put vasoline on the bottom of my feet and scooted right off the blocks. The heats after me were at bit peeved because, (I think) they didn't think of it first. Grease up * Stillwater is joking. No mocking or taunting intended.
  • Where do we find myoflex? What else is it used for?

    Where do we find myoflex? What else is it used for? Its muscle rub kinda like bengay or sportscreme.

    i don't think vasoline would be the best idea, I might slip. This is kind of off topic, but I went + 0.1 in my 100 *** stroke, which isn't terrible, but my walls were really slow and sloppy. Does anyone know how to completely improve them in one day?
