Men and Swim Caps

This is a question for the men that use this forum: I was wondering why at most meets I attend for masters, I notice that it is more often the younger males that wear swim caps for competition? I am in my early twenties, and whenever I get ready for my events at a meet I look around and notice that it's primarily only younger guys that put a cap on for their events. Just curious for some input from other male swimmers if they notice this as well, or if it is just me. I've talked to other guys my age and they seem to agree for the most part for a variety of reasons. Any response is appreciated! Dave

  • No friggin way....is that "the" Phil Arcuni...back fro the "dead"? Where you been man....we've had to suffer with Geek for humor and out dont's for far to long. And for the record..have worn a cap in virtually every meet both college and masters but never train with one.... Paul, that quote was from November of 2004! I guess you'll have to suffer the Geek's version of dos and don'ts for a while longer. I wear a cap for meets, mostly because I can't seem to keep my goggles on without wearing a cap over the strap. I also train in one during the winter, when I let my hair grow out, because said hair doesn't get as stringy from the chlorine.
