i swim three times a week and stay in the pool for a maximum of 2 hours, my cousin tells me that chlorine can do damage to my hair big time if i don't wear a swim cap, do i really need to wear a swim cap?

    VB, I have never seen someone talk about this before... "Swim caps add buoyancy" How do they add your buoyancy? I'm not sure if this is what VB meant.... I swim with a cap and sometimes air gets trapped underneath making it feel like I'm swimming with a balloon on my head. I make sure my hair is wet before I put on the cap and still have to "squeeze" out any excess air once in a while. Here is my plea to all the swimmers with shoulder length (and longer)hair... PLEASE WEAR A CAP!!!!!!! Just the other day I had to pull a foot long hair blob out of my lane, DISGUSTING!:rant3:
