I'm having swim cap issues. I normally wear a silicon regular normal cap, and have worn latex in the past. However, I put my cap on dry and put my hair in a couple of ponytail holders underneath, then the goggles on top. During my workouts my cap slides up so my hair starts falling out of the bottom and then gets in the way. Plus it's uncomfortable and starts pulling on my goggles. My hair really isn't that long--not even to my shoulders. And it's not majorly thick, either--a little, but not very thick. (OK, no big head jokes :D )
I have to constantly pull it down during my workout which wastes time and does no good anyway. Short of getting out to redo it all, how can I get the cap to stay on so everything stays where it is supposed to? Should I put it on wet head, pull my hair up differently, try another brand, any ideas? Please help!
You probably will have to try a few before you find one that fits. I have always had a problem finding caps that fit.
I have very fine hair, and not much of it. My hair is shoulder length and I have to put it in a ponytail to stay in the cap. I bought a junior size silicone cap to wear. It was fine for the first part of the workout but it got too tight so now I just wear it for meets.
Most online swim shops (swimoutlet, kastaway, etc) have decent prices for latex caps. Most should be around 2 bucks or less. Speedo, TYR offer junior size caps in silicone and latex. I say buy a couple and try them on. Good luck!
PS-If your hair is falling out of the cap it is probably too big.
