When you are not in a streamline position in swimming, drag can occur. This is when you body is stopping the water from freely moving past your body. You may notice when you begin to sink while you are swimming that you slow down. This is because the lower part of your body is creating drag by stopping the water from quickly passing you legs.
Drag causes more friction making it harder to go faster
So that it does not cause drag and slow you down while swimming.
Well "drag" is usually used to describe something that will slow you, like a drag suit worn over a jammer or Fastskins, or simply wearing another suit. Swimming without that will not slow you at all, therefore in practice swimmers use drag to improve and go faster in meets.
so you do not drag in the water... say your on a bike and the wind is pushing against you that the wind resistance in the air... while as your swimming if you r wearing a drag suit it will slow you down.... that's why swimmers where fastskins, lazers, and other tight suits.....
