<p>just wondering, because im a hairy guy and i would like to do so, but is it acceptable? and will my hair grow back fast? </p>
<p>Note: im on a swim team</p>
<p>All the guys on our swim team are required to as they near regionals (CIF in Cali). This one guy in our class shaved his arms in stripes, though... don't do that. :)</p>
<p>All the swimmers I know shave so it should be fine.</p>
<p>yeah, it should be fine.</p>
<p>swimmers always shave, so you should be fine.</p>
<p>Heh I used to be on the swim and waterpolo teams, it's all good.</p>
<p>Even though I left the swim and waterpolo teams, I still do it. I can never go back, ugh.</p>
<p>If its not pertinent for your sport...dont do it, unless you're the wolfman or something.</p>
<p>since you're a swimmer, or if you were a cyclist/whatever, sure.</p>
<p>otherwise..that's kind of weird.</p>
<p>but guys with really hairy legs gross me out.</p>
<p>you're on swim, anyway, do it. it's cool for swimmers.</p>
<p>yeah i hate a ton of hair. especially if the guy sweats a lot. grossss.</p>
<p>my swim team does NOT make it mandatory to shave legs/arms</p>
<p>but my friends say that shaving will make me a faster swimmer, is that true?</p>
<p>also, if you are not on the swim team, is it still okay to shave?</p>
<p>as to shaving increasing speed... I suppose it does, but unless you're really hairy it probably won't change that much. but then in swimming every 100th counts.</p>
<p>I don't see how it would be unacceptable for guys to shave....I don't but that's because I don't spend every moment of my life in the bathroom....:)</p>
<p>I used to swim, but it was back when I was a youngin so the legs and arms werent a very big deal. I did shave my head once though and dropped like 5 seconds in one of my events. It's no big deal to do it if you're a swimmer. Wrestlers do it as well at my school.</p>
<p>In my school's swim team we have what we call 'shaving party' the night before a major competition. My coach claims that it actually make a difference, both psychological and physical (haha...). My frens have been teasing me about it for the past year :P</p>
<p>And yes, your hair grows back faster everytime you shave... so try not to shave too often yeh.. lol</p>
<p>That's a myth. Your hair grows at the same rate regardless of when you shave.</p>
<p>Yeah swim team is okay.</p>
<p>It's sorta weird if they're not, but still I guess a lot of hair is gross. Hmm, undecided...</p>
<p>you ever shave your face CCRunner?</p>
<p>Cyclists and swimmers. Go for it.</p>
