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.
yes, i have data!!
I did a 50 LCM free without a cap. 32.2
then a 50 LCM free with a cap. 31.9
I have a lot of hair.
Am willing to bet that the difference may have been greater in a SC pool. Have him try the cap or shave his head.
