DO YOU THINK MICHAEL PHELPS IS BETTER OFF SWIMMING SHIRTLESS OR WITH SWIMSUIT ON?

With the ongoing emanate of FINA’s authorized swimsuit and all that, I still cite Michael Phelps hang to his common character but swimsuit.
What’s so engaging about the swimsuit, creation him faster? I think he’s a lot faster swimming shirtless. What do you think?

Idk really. Some suits are very water repellant. And have a texture that is smoother than shaved skin so it will help you move faster in teh water….
but with all these rules maybe its best to go shirtless and not have the little weight of the suit on hiim!
so my answer is shirtless…speedo… less weight faster result

well it depends cause some of the full suits lets you swim faster cause of water dynamics and stuff like that.

one benefit of the body suits is compression. Yes, even super toned athletes have body mass that “jiggles” off the wall. Compression keeps it all together and keeps the bod more streamlined.

Honestly shirtless is better, I can tell you from experience that sure these suits are wave repellent and keep you more streamline , BUT they are also very tight and reduce alot of arm movemnt up in the shoulders, I’d still rather go with shaved skin. But then this depends on the event if you’re swimming freestyle maybe the suit wouldnt be bad it would actually help support, however in an event such as butterfly a full suit would actually just handicap you
