Identify a sport in which athletes desire to have extremely low frictional forces and describe what the athletes do to reduce friction?

Also I have another question:

WHAT should I draw that shows the importance of the Mu (Co efficient of friction) of an item dragging across the table?
 
Swimming is the first one that comes to mind. Swimmers will do just about anything to lower the drag forces (basically a frictional force) between them and the water. This is why swimmers wear tight swimwear, swimcaps, and shave every part of their body.
 
Swimming. swimmers want least friction with the water as possible, a lot of swimmers will shave their legs, arms, armpits, and head to reduce friction and some will wear a special full body suit witch makes them more sleek in the water
