Got a question for everybody out there on the use of caps. How much drag do they really cut down. I never use one in practice cause I hate the feeling but I use them in meets. My son is the same way. Is it really worth using them in meets? I just don't like them
I've tried wearing caps from time to time, but they never seemed to fit well. I've tried all kinds... So if there's a meet coming, I just get my hair cut real short. Did anyone say how much drag the cap cuts down on?
Strangely, while visiting Japan a few years back, EVERYONE had to wear a cap while swimming at many pools there, so I had to also. Felt strange, but such is live. They also didn't allow you to wrap a towel around your waist and walk around (they don't know if you have anything on under the towel).
By the way, you're from Drums, PA? Where do you swim? I'm originally from Mountain Top (just up Rte 309), and seem to miss workouts when I go back for visits.
