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!

  • I may just have to stick with clarified butter, myself. And avoid any meets too close to Thanksgiving... And avoid large pots of boiling water Rich, whenever you swim, it could be argued that you turn the pool into a churning, frothing maelstrom of superheated bubbles...in essence, a large pot of boiling water. I shall take your wise counsel and avoid swimming in an adjacent lane!
