Is a swim cap a device that makes you swim faster?

Just wondering what y'all think...

  • I really have no idea how much it helps. When you swim your hair tends to get plastered down to your head. Is this really less slippery than covering your head with a latex or silicone cap? I'm not sure. I never wore a cap until this year (unless required in an OW swim or something). I finally figured if I was going to wear an expensive full body suit it would be sort of silly to not wear a cap, too, if it could possibly help make me faster.
