About this deal

Hygiene: People who swim without a cap lose hair in the pool and this ends up floating in the water and clogging up the filters. If that's not enough, we're also the place to visit you're looking for a kids' waterproof swimming hat. We have a range of fun and colourful designs that your son or daughter will love. Swimming caps are not just made for competitive swimmers but are highly beneficial for all sorts of pool users. If you want to keep your hair drier than it would be otherwise, perhaps because you are trying to get a few lengths in during your lunch break, they can be very helpful. Some people condition their hair before putting a swim cap on but this can cause the cap to pop off. However, if you have goggles on over your cap this should prevent it from rising up. If you do brush conditioner through your hair first you should make sure you have a cap with a good seal so that conditioner doesn’t get into the pool.

A. There are long hair caps available from suppliers like Speedo and Zoggs which give a roomier fit to accommodate long hair. Bubble caps are also a good choice for longer hair and larger heads, although these do create warmth, so if you are a performance swimmer they may be too warm for you. It’s also worth thinking about how vigorously you plan to swim, as gentle breaststroke will require a less fitted hat than fast front crawl or butterfly, especially if you’re doing racing dives or forceful tumble turns. We’ve included a mix of brands and some children’s options too. The hats were tested in a leisure centre swimming pool. A. No, unfortunately not. Swim caps are not designed to keep your hair dry but to reduce drag and for hygiene reasons. However, silicone caps or wearing two caps together with a silicone one on top, does create quite a good seal to prevent a lot of water seeping in. If you are swimming without putting your head in the water then a swim cap will protect your hair from splashes and will probably stay dry but if you swim with your head below the water line, water will seep into the cap because there is not a watertight seal. Club swimmers tend to use swimming caps because they lessen hydrodynamic drag whilst in the water. Put another way, they make your swimming more efficient and faster as a result. They do this by forming a smooth surface for the water to flow around as the head is propelled forwards by the swimmer's arm and leg strokes. Swim caps allow swimmers to move with grater fluidity through the pool than they could if their hair was exposed, creating drag. This also improves mobility when swimming and can help with rapid changes of direction as well as turns at the end of each length.To make you more streamlined in the water: If you swim competitively, speed is very important and your hair will cause water drag, which slows you down. A swimming cap will reduce water drag and keep your hair out of your face so that you can see as you swim. If you like swimming without a cap we would suggest that you rinse your hair in the shower before you swim and rinse well after with shampoo and use a conditioner to help repair any damage from chlorine. If you swim regularly then we advise that you use a deep conditioning treatment once a week as well.

Swimming caps come in a variety of materials. ProSwimwear have an extensive selection of popular silicone swim caps, as well as options for polyester, Lycra and Latex swim caps from all the top brands including Speedo, Arena, Jaked, Maru, Mad Wave, MP Michael Phelps, Nike, Adidas and many more. A. Most swim caps are one size but some will come in small, medium, large etc; normally racing caps or open water neoprene caps. Many swim cap manufacturers design caps for adults or children with the children’s caps being smaller. It might just be that you're looking for a waterproof swim cap to help keep your hair dry when swimming a few early lengths before work or school. Alternatively, you may find swimming caps valuable due to their ability to keep your head warm and comfortable in the water. To protect your hair from the damaging effects of chlorine: Whilst your hair will still get wet, caps will prevent your hair from becoming saturated with the chlorinated water in the pool which can damage your hair.For the more competitive swimmers, a professional swim cap is a vital item of kit to help maximise performance in the pool. They are designed to streamline your swim by reducing drag in the water, which results in a faster and more efficient swim. After swimming you will find that you have wet spots on your hair unless you have found a swim cap which fits you perfectly and has a great seal. If you want to avoid chlorine entering your cap you could wet your hair in the shower first before you put your swim cap on. This will help prevent chlorine from seeping under your cap by filling and sealing the hair shafts.
