I stopped wearing caps between the ages of 12 and 28, but that didn't stop me from collecting! I have about 70 caps, 30 from various colleges.
(I never realized that img code is off in the forums, but not blogs. Why is that?)
In no particular order:

That's a neat collection. My coach, a former UT swimmer, would love the UT cap. Although I think he can get one any time he asks now. I wish I could save caps but since I wear them so much, I usually wear them out. There are a few that I have saved, though.
Do you do the Go the Distance? You get a free cap for that one when you hit 50 miles. That would add to the collection.
National office cap collection. We're still collecting although we're almost out of wall space!
Anna Lea, one of our teammates was down in Sarasota a year or so ago and I thought he either sent or dropped off a Terrapin Masters cap - I saw these on FB too and didn't see our cap in there... did it disappear?

The VP of Business Operations was headed off to practice one day after work and realized he didn't have a cap, so he took one down from the wall. Apparently it was the TERR cap.
