Best Answer

Long fingernails definitely create a little drag. The more surface area you have on the front of your body, the slower you go. If your fingernails are painted that gives the officials an advantage to disqualify you. They are able to see if your hands touch at the same time or not during an event with an open turn.

That depends on the temperature of the water and the alternate medium, air I suppose. If the water is 33 degrees F and the air is 600 deg. F it would last longer in the water. At 212 deg F water and 33 deg air it would last longer in the air. If both are at the same temperature it will melt faster in water.
