How do high school swimmers and college swimmers remove hair from their backs?

They can:
-Shave
-Wax
-Nair (for Men)
Shaving is usually the quickest method and could be the least expensive removal system. All you really need is a good manual razor, some shaving cream and a freshman and it'll come off. But the hair does grow back quicker and in most cases denser than before the shaving. Some guys who shave will also use clippers to trim the hair if it is especially dense.
Waxing is the most expensive option out of all hair removal solutions since you need to go somewhere special to have a proper waxing done. NEVER home wax any part of your body if you are not trained in waxing. Always have a professional do it for you but this will mean making an appointment at your local spa (or wherever you may go), paying them money and then pain as the hair is removed by physical force.
Nair is the last option and I have had experience with the Nair for Men stuff. For me what it did was it acted as a trimmer for my dense hair and then I had to shave the rest off. The hair that had survived because of poor lathering was left bent and twisted from the Nair for some odd reason. It did not hurt or burn for me but others will have an allergic reaction when coming into contact with Nair for a prolonged period of time so it may not be the best option for hair removal.

most swimmers often wax the hair on their backs, it leaves it smoother then shaving and lasts longer and the hair is less brittle

Well you could have a friend shave it for you, or you could go and have it waxed. Having it waxed will last longer than shaving, but also hurt alot more.....
