one of the things were supposed to do is shave our bodies.i dont have a prob with this but i have hair on my a**s and dont know if im should shave it or not.or if u even can shave it.im embarressed to ask my coaches or friends,what do i do?

Answer 1

Actually, you're meant to WAX it, or put hairspray on it, seriously.

Only the hair you can see btw.

Answer 2

No, because your speedo covers it and so it wont create drag.

Answer 3

You only have to shave the hair that shows outside of your suit.  This eliminates drag.  The suit keeps your hairy butt from causing drag.

Answer 4

first of all... dont get embarressed by this!! I had that same problem and I actually asked my friends! they laughed but they helped me out! YOu definetly want to shave where it shows on the outside of your suit. whatever hair you cant see you can shave it if you want or you dont have to. but for sure shave the hair on the outside of your suit. It helps you throught the water.

Answer 5

You only need to shave your hair if you are of a high standard, not just because you have joined a swim team, if you are an average swimmer say county level it won't make much difference to your times, if you are competeing at national/international and races are won by points of a second then maybe then you would shave, its does not sav tht much time really.

Anyway most swimmers wear full body suits these days, so no need to shave your legs etc. if you wear one of these.

I don't see the need to shave your a**s, unless you swim for a naturists team who don't like seeing hairy butts or if your coach is g*y

Answer 6

Yes, I agree with answer no.1. You just have to shave the place which swim suit can't cover. Hair will results in drag water.

Answer 7

When you are shaving yourself wear your suit. Only shave the hair that you can see and that is therefore not covered by the suit.

Answer 8

ya maybe you should shave it

Answer 9

you only shave anything that shows.  Anything under the bathing suit is good to stay.  If your coach has a problem with that he should be put in jail for sexual abuse.

Answer 10

1 they are all swimmers and have shaved fully at one time or another so dont be embarresed to ask those questions and 2 nahh dont worry about it all you need to do is shave the hair that your suit doesnt cover but your butt and pubic area are fully covered by your suit but make sure you shave your legs though to the top front and back.
