I have such a hard time getting used to the cap(i have sensory issues), and I am currently wearing it while working from home, just to get used to it. I always have it when I arrive at the pool but I end up braiding my hair and not wearing it. I want to protect my hair from the pool 3 times a week! I'm inspire to not give up ;)

Misha Willie you can wet your hair in the showers first or fill your cap up in the sink - if you wanna get it wet first. Just a preference, if it works okay for you without then awesome keep doing what you’re doing...

We are patners with www.sbrsportsinc.com/index.html and recco their TRISWIM products. Or try a conditioner with little to no smell as you can taste it in the water after you put it on before your cap...so keep that in mind.

Does it help prevent the water from getting inside of the cap? I really want to swim but afraid of dealing with wet hair everytime, since my hair is very unmanageable.

Some water will get under the cap, but your hair won't be drenched.

Mine always seems to slip off after a while, am I doing something wrong? I pull it down as far as I can but I always end up ditching it and swimming with hair in my face 😓

Probably not...maybe the cap is too big for you, try a kids one. No one will know the difference and it might provide a more snug fit...

I was told my ears have to be inside but I do that and my ear keeps folding like in half what do I do ???? And i have baby hairs in the back that don’t go in

@USMastersSwimming 4 года назад

Having your ears in or out is a personal choice. If you do put them under the cap, put the entire cap on first and then pull the cap away from your head right where your ear is with one hand and push your entire ear against your head with the other hand. Then, gently let the cap squeeze against your head again. For Silicone and Latex caps, the above method should work. If you use, Lycra or another fabric, your ears will probably keep bending. Baby hairs are not going to always fit so let them hang and don't worry too much about it :)

@USMastersSwimming 2 года назад

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Hope this helps, but also, if you have a lot of hair, there are larger swim caps on the market. Lastly, silicon-type caps typically are more comfortable than latex.

@Q5w7 2 года назад

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Today I wore swimming cap before watching your tutorial. I don't have very long hair as yours but bleached hairs I have. So, I tied my hair and made a little bunny back of my head then put on the cap, but my hair was all wet afterwards. Is it because of I tied my hair? Isn't it supposed to be all dry afterwards, or did I misunderstood the function of the cap? Thanks

@USMastersSwimming 2 года назад

Hi, thanks for reaching out regarding your follow-up on our "How to Put on a Swim Cap" video. So, your hair will still get wet under a swim cap, but it won't get tangled. A swim cap helps with a barrier against the chemicals in the pool. If you don't have a lot of hair, using a tie is completely fine. I would recommend spraying your hair with some leave-in conditioner before putting on the cap if you have treated hair. Also, make sure to use try-out TRISWIM shampoo and conditioner to help get the pool chemicals like Chlorine out of your hair after you are done swimming. That way, your hair won't turn green or orange after you swim.

@USMastersSwimming 3 месяца назад

Hi, thank you for reaching out. The best method to keeping the cap from sliding back/off is to pull it down on your forhead when you put it on. Another thing to consider is not having anything grease on your hir before placing the cap on your head. Hope these two tips help!

That's an okay way but it would get really tangled if the whole time you're just "shoving it in there". A better way would be to have a ponytail flipped over your head and put it on that way, or just do a bun and pull it over

Chlorine can damage your hair in extended use. However, if you get your hair wet before swimming, use a pre-swim conditioner or cover it in a cap, that will greatly help. We have not seen this technique damage hair at all. Happy swimming!
