Best Answer

Board shorts add a lot of drag when swimming, which slows you down. Speedos make your body sleek like a fish, reducing turbulence, so it goes through the water faster. As for the time difference, that would be individual. However in general board shorts will add approx 6-10% to your time over the same distance where effort and pacing remain the same.

Which uses more muscles swimming or skiing?

If it's swimming versus downhill, that would be swimming. However, if it's swimming versus cross country, easily, cross country. What muscles do you need most for cross country skiing? All of them. Swimming neglects the calf and extensor (forearm) muscles, regardless of swimming style. In cross country skiing both your calves and forearms will get a workout, and the only part of the body not worked is the neck. However cross country skiing involves every single muscle in the human body.

Does salt water affect floating or sinking?

Salt increases the density of water, thus makes it easier to float.I've always had troubles floating while swimming in fresh water, but the difference when swimming in the sea is quite noticeable.There are many notes of people doing experiments with floating eggs with salt water versus fresh water.
