What's the point of wearing a swim cap?

[questions117]

@HuskerIsNumberOne

1.) Keeps hairs from getting in the pool (gross)

2.) Keeps your hair out of your face

3.) If you swim in a chlorinated pool it protects your hair much better from the chlorine. Not 100%, but better.

4.) In some cases, to keep body heat form escaping (usually open water swims)

5.) As a marker in open water swimming so people can see you.

@HuskerIsNumberOne and also it reduces drag. Especially good in races where every hundredth of a second counts. :)

[HuskerIsNumberOne]

@questions117 Okay, but couldn't you wear your hair in a ponytail and leave it at that?

[KanjiLollyLuvsMakeup]

does your hair get wet ?

[questions117]

@KanjiLollyLuvsMakeup Yes, but the cap keeps your hair out of your face and less chlorine damage. best of all it keeps stray hairs out of the pool - nothing sucks like getting a strand of somebody's hair tangled in your fingers while your swimming! :P

I actually usually wet my hair before I put it on so less chlorine gets absorbed.

[glambubble24]

I just joined my local swim team so I have a few questions. Is there a particular reason you start at the back of your neck vs your forehead? Also when I put my cap on the back of it curls up and I'm not sure why, any ideas on how to fix this? Also is there a reason they aren't completely smooth that there are wrinkles at the top of the cap?

[questions117]

@Lacostelp I just find it easier for me personally to start at the back. When I start in front it always slips off my forehead whereas in the back it mostly stays put. If you don't like wrinkles on top you can get a dome-shaped cap. They wrinkle much less because it matches the shape of your head more! And as far as the curling up in back, you may need to pull it farther down over your forehead and not so low on your neck. :)

[cupcakesmash]

are you supposed to show the words?

[910babysnakes]

I can't my swim cap to stretch that far. Maybe because it's new. Maybe I'm just a wimp.

[daggerslide1]

ugh :s i really struggle to put a swimming cap on because they're so tight and small! or maybe i just have a big head.. :s probably..

[emily409673]

It can either be over your ears or not it doesn't really matter

[bizarrasp]

amazing video, excellent explanation ! Help me a lot ! thanks ! Do you prefer silicon or latex ?

[questions117]

@bizarrasp I like silicone WAYYYY better - latex rips my hair. Some people have trouble with it slipping off their heads though.

[jetadorecheveux07]

thank you so much!!

[ilikeflatbuns357]

your pro.

are the caps supposed to cover your ears ?

[questions117]

@ilikeflatbuns357 I prefer mine to cover my ears, personally. But not far enough down that I can't hear and get water trapped in there. I think it's just personal preference but in a race it might fall off if it's too high up! :)

[ilikeflatbuns357]

lmfao! your pro.

are the caps supposed to cover your ears ?

[TheCrazybeech]

very helpful thanks :)

[bawkbawkluce]

thank you! very helpful.

[zoebrisk]

i like the panda one :))  lol do you need to use water?

[questions117]

@zoebrisk not to put it on, but if you're actually swimming I suggest wetting your hair first with non-chlorine water, just to minimize hair damage. :-) lol

[gummybear2239]

I always have my friends or coach do it, I am swim cap challenged haha, I can only ssometimes do it. :)) Great video!

[MooCow354]

[NaryusLove]

[HeroicFrog]

you see now this makes sense, seriously. other vids don't show the back being put in. fantastic.

Pro Tip: up your mic volume, we can barely hear you.

[Deviceroy]

Thanks even though I'm a guy my hair is long, and I was wondering how to wear a cap.
