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.
