Clothes and a swimmer findings on swimwear in sea water
Professor J Joly and Professor H H Dixon report experiments in the London Times on swimming clothes. They find maximum downward drag of ordinary sailor clothes in sea water after air is expelled is about four ounces, with sustaining force possible initially and less drag for longer swims. Clothes slow heat loss, suggesting staying clothed helps warmth in cold water. The moral urges wearing clothes and life belts.
