when swimming you do not want your bush to pop out of the swim suit while competing against other people........

You don't need to shave all your pubes off just keep them well trimmed. Pubic hair makes no difference to your swimming ability. If you shave them all of and wish to go faster when swimming splash on some aftershave before entering water.

Shaving that area isn't going to affect your swimming at all. Shaving also opens up a better possibilty of infection and irritation. Regardless of what you do, no doctor is going to care one way or the other during a physical.

Trim it. Otherwise you look like a 10 year old. Your bush should not pop out of your speedos. I've worn them and have a decent bush, and never had that problem. If you have some really long hair, use some scissors!

Shaving won't affect your swimming at all. Sure, some guys may see your pubic hair sticking out, but all men have them. Your doctor won't care whether you shave it, but having hair down there will show them that you've entered puberty. It would be kind of embarrassing if they asked "Did you shave your pubic hair?"

You do not need a doctors answer for this minor issue.
There is no harm in shaving your entire genital area or just trimming it. It's your preference to what makes you feel better.

What would shaving your pubic hair have to do with swimming? I can't see the connection at all. It's not going to make any difference in your swimming and it's not going to matter to your doctor either. But, at 14 why are you even worried one way or the other about your pubic hair. You should just be proud that you have pubic hair. My advice....keep the hair and look like a man.
Guys with shave pubic regions look.....gay!

It's not going to make a big difference in your swimming one way or the other. Do it if you want to do it. :)
