hi all, I'm writing from Italy. Hope not to be politically incorrect, you know, sometimes one uses wrong expressions which may be offensive without knowing it - English is not my language.

My question: has someone understood why there are no black swimmers at the top of the world rankings? is there a physiologic reason? Thank you Antonio

If you get it in place just right with the mirror in the locker room it works wonders. You may still experience some sweating if its a warm pool and mistake that for a bit of water entering, it works well for me and others. the trick is pulling the inner cap or band down low over the ears, the ear is where most caps leak, look at swimmers see how many have a bit of the ear showing on their caps edge , silicon is prefered for the inner cap, then the outer bubble strap "double cap" snug in a head size pulled over that. The band also can be placed over a cap to seal the edge as well as inside or both, the tighter the caps however the less comfortable. Bubble caps are available in lots of colors and three head sizes small, med and large. You will have to experiment to see what works for you.
