​Swim caps: reduce drag in the water
The biggest advantage of swimming or bathing caps is that they create a smooth, hydrodynamic surface – reducing water resistance. They also protect your hair from chlorine and stop individual hairs entering the pool. To make sure your cap lasts as long as possible, rinse it off with clean water after each use.

Swimming Caps

If swimming is a significant part of your life, you need a trustworthy swim cap. They shield your hair from pool bacteria and chlorine damage in addition to keeping it packed and maintaining good vision. Although swim caps aren't necessarily the most stylish swimming equipment you can find, they can greatly increase your speed by lowering the water flow resistance that works against you. Additionally, there are a variety of types available on Addnature with various characteristics, so you may choose one that suits you best.

What are swimming caps for?

Swim caps were first developed to aid competitive swimmers in gliding over the water. Increasing their swimming speed and lowering hair drag slows down swimmers in the water. A swimmer's performance in a competition can suffer even from a little slowdown. Even for recreational swimming lessons with Swimtastic, a swim cap is useful in the water. Therefore, we strongly advise our swimmers to wear a swim cap. Swim caps come in two different styles. TYR Lycra caps must be worn for competition swimming since they fit more snugly and resemble rubber. And TYR Silcone caps, which have a looser fit, more fabric-like appearance, and are recommended for recreational swimming.

What to look for before purchasing a swim cap?

Elasticity

This is a crucial issue to take into account because it affects how securely a swim cap will stay on your head, particularly if you've got a bigger head or long hair. If a swim hat extends to a respectable length and then snaps back into place, it is elastic.

The main benefit of wearing a cap when swimming is to avoid hair tangling, falling out, and producing drag. Therefore, a swim cap loses its usefulness if it isn't sufficiently elastic.

Comfort

The key to swim hats is comfort. The perfect swim cap should fit your head comfortably, not be too tight, and not pull at your hair. Your swimming sessions would be unpleasant and downright uncomfortable if your swim cap contradicted these traits. So make sure that whichever swim cap you get is at least moderately comfy.

Size and form

A swim cap typically comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large.

Adults and kids with tiny hair and small-shaped skulls should use small swim hats. The elasticity of medium-sized swim caps allows them to accommodate the majority of head shapes. Large caps are typically for those with long hair to avoid hair poking out during a swim session.
