Sorry to break it to you, but if this was the case, the Speedos at the Olympics would look more like... well, Speedos.

The reason they use pretty much full body suits is that the suits have less drag than skin, even waxed/shaved skin.

As far as what makes a pool fast, I think it's one that absorbs the waves the swimmers create so that there's less turbulence slowing them down.
