What causes skin friction drag?

Friction Drag, also known as Skin Friction Drag, is drag caused by the friction of a fluid against the surface of an object that is moving through it. It is directly proportional to the area of the surface in contact with the fluid and increases with the square of the velocity.

What is difference between friction drag and pressure drag?

Skin friction drag is the drag between surface and water. Pressure drag is the resistance generated due to differential pressure along the swimmer body.
