The son and daughter are both swimmers. The son and daughter shave their legs, forearms and chest and back once or twice a season. We don't care about the hair, it provides less than a millionth of a second of drag. We shave to remove the built up dead skin and nerve endings. Immediately after shaving you jump in the water and swim as fast and hard as you can. By removing all the dead skin and nerve endings, it will feel like you're going faster than you've ever swam. The next day you will work that much harder to try and regain that feeling during your competition. Motion lotion (BenGay and Baby Oil) is a whole other thing.

None of this works if you shave regularly.

I was a competitive swimmer in Highschool and University.
