Discoloration of my "Go The Distance" swim cap

Hi all I got my 50 miles Go The Distance cap in the mail yesterday (started swimming in March after a long absence) and very proudly wore it to my swim this morning.W When I was done, I noticed that it had discolored BIGTIME. You could see where my goggle straps had covered it; that part was still white, but the rest of it is sort of a dingy off white color. Is this a chlorine to latex reaction or what? Should I be grossed out and boycott my pool? I have never swam with a white cap before.

    The swimming cap is designed to protect your hair, also stopping lose hair going through the pool filter :P That said your silicone cap shouldn't discolor too much, do you know what weight it was as there are different silicone thicknesses. Not that you have a choice in what weight silicone they use :)
