Friction is when two objects are pressed against each other, this means when swimming you and the water are creating friction. It is best for you to look up what is friction before you ask this because it makes more sense and you will be able to figure out the answer yourself.

How friction related to swimming?

Friction is related to swimming because the water is constantly working against the force of the swimmer and therefore reducing their speed and acceleration. If there was no friction then many of the world's physics would be completely different.


When is friction in swimming good?

If you're in competitive swimming, friction will only slow you down, so the answer is no.However, without it, you'll simply fall like a rock to the bottom of the pool or ocean or wherever you're swimming. So if you're just swimming for survival, then it will be desirable.AnswerWhen an object is moving through a fluid, the term is "drag" not friction, and no drag is not desirable which is why swimmers remove all the hair on their bodies. Buoyancy keeps you from sinking not friction; friction is a reaction force.
