Apologies if the answer to this is in this forum, or on the internet in general, but my searching skills are obviously lacking. So, I keep reading that swimcaps reduce drag. What are we talking about here - a 1% advantage over not wearing a cap, if all else remain equal? 2%? If I wear a cap, could my 40.5sec 50m (which I have done 3x) be sub40? :)

  • For most of us --- it is for big time meets and we might get some time improvement but it might be mental as well??!! You might get under 40 with a cap and a better start and a good turn.
