I grew up simming in the late 60s through early 80s. Boys didn't really wear caps then. My son is 11 and is teatering on some USA Swimming state qual times, but is about 0.5 seconds away in several 50s and 100s.
He has never tried a cap. Should he? I would think a cap would only take about .01 seconds off a 50.
Does anyone have any data.
no hard data just opinions and observations
boys wear caps
sprinters put googles on first then their caps
even when their hair is short
the longer the hair the greater the difference
Here's an article I wrote on the new caps
www.usms.org/.../showpost.php
invite him to read swim faster faster
www.usms.org/.../showthread.php
the tips might help him breakthrough and get those cuts
the good thing about elite meets is they aren't as long
fewer swimmers make cuts and they tend to be faster
