Swimming and fitness
I'm 17, a guy and i want to get involved with swimming. I was wondering whether or not i should wax or shave my legs? which would be the name for it? and whether or not it would cause ingrown hairs? should i go ahead and shave/wax my pubic area? I would also like to know how i should start my routine for swimming. what stretches, what should be a warm up, and how many 50 m laps should i do [one way on a olympic sized pool]. I would like to have a slimmer body, with nice abs and lower abs [like a abercrombie v cut]. how should i go about doing this?

i've been on swimteam for 7 years, im actually quiting due to other intrests, but swimming is a great way to get into shape! kudos!
for the legs...i would just shave them,
as for your publc area, i would just shave around the edges, you wont be able to see the hair sticking out of the sides.
for stretches, they're techinqually called drylands:

a good warm up you could do 3 laps, like two of free style or front crawl and one other lap of a different stroke (ie. breastroke, butterfly, backstroke) for a beginner swimmer, a good workout is 1,000-2000yards/meters. I'm a competetive swimmer, i did like 6,000-8,000yards a day. but keep it easy and slow, swimming is supposed to look graceful and relaxed when its not competetive like. oh, and swimming will help you lose some weight, but not a ton, it does at first, but then levels off usually, so try lifting some weights after a swim practice or do some abdominal exercises. hope i helped. =]
