Hey y'all! I was pulling out some old swimming stuff I had, cause im planning on getting back in the pool next week. *yaay!* Its been a long 8 year hiatus. Back to school and back to the pool! cant wait!! Anyhoo, I picked up a bunch of my old swim caps, a latex one I dont think i ever wore (just bought it cause it looked cool), a lycra one, and a silicone one. Not sure which one I will wear during workouts, then I was wonderin "What kind of caps do you guys/gals/amphibians wear?" Any suggestions on which is better?:cool:
well, for workouts i wear silicone- they last longer and i don't think they're quite as tight as latex. which is good for long workout when you can't take you cap off.
for meets i wear latex because they seem a lot tighter to me (less drag) but since you can take them off after your event, it's not as big a deal as in practice.
welcome back!
I wear a bubble crepe cap with a chin strap over a home made swim band. Most days I am bone dry after my swim, saves money on condintioners and time.. There made of latex but dont pull hair. the hair pullers are the thin latex race caps sold everywere.
