i thought swimmers tried not to be hairy and all
Prior to a major competition, swimmers will shave their entire body. Some swim meets are more like "warm ups" to the big ones so some choose not to shave for those.

Michael Phelps set a world record in the 200m fly at the Missouri Grand Prix with that 'stache on.

That was until he broke his own record at the world championships. It must have been the moustache slowing him down in Missouri. :wink:
 
swimmers only shave their body hair twice a year, for the two major competitions they taper for. it's also less about the drag created by the hair on your body and more about the feel of the water when you jump in after you have shaved.

speaking from experience, it's amazing. there is nothing like working all season, tapering down for a good two weeks and resting, and then shaving from head to toe, and then jumping into the water, and feeling your body tingle all over and just knowing that you're going to swim fast.

now, more Phelps semi-porn:

No this isn't the one. But I do like this one too. :wink:
He was wearing sunglasses and changing into or taking off his red, white and blue speedos.
I use to have it, but then my laptop crashed and it went bye-bye. :sigh:
 
Can't seem to find the full picture.
But this is the one, someone cropped off his body (why I have no idea).

This was the swimsuit that was coming off or going on under the towel.
