I haven't used anything on my skin before i swim except maybe once or twice some icy hot. I was at a marathon a week or two ago and saw a lot of people putting body glide all over but they were not wearing wetsuits. Does BG off any benefits to swimming aside from getting wetsuits on/off easier?

  • however i guess i was wondering if it had any water repellant effect or similar effect so that someone would want to lather up with it before a race. Like a tech suit, you mean? If it did, I'd think the pool swimmers would have figured that out by now. Grease is to prevent chafing, nothing else. I seem to recall a thread a couple weeks ago...
