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? :)
Never noticed a difference. I wear one only for open water, and then only because they are required by the club for visibility. I'm partially bald, besides I buzz the hair, so there is nothing there to create drag except for the ears projecting a bit. I suspect the goggles create as much drag as that.
