Choosing a Swim Cap


Swim caps are very functional items which help keep long hair out of your face while you swim, making you more hydrodynamic. Depending on whether you have long hair or short hair or you are swimming at practice or racing, The Lifeguard Store has the perfect swim cap for you!



Length of Hair

The amount of hair you have can make a difference in the best swim cap for you. If you have short hair, try a latex cap. Caps made from latex stretch more than others and will provide a better fit to those with less hair. If you have longer hair, try using a silicone cap. Silicone offers more durability and can cover ample amounts of hair – pain free. If you’re doing water aerobics and need a cap, try our Lycra cap which offers comfort for long wear.



 

Color


Swim caps come in numerous amounts of colors. Caps come in your traditional solid colors, as well as different designs such as camo, dots, flames, etc. Some caps even have sayings on them such as Swim Chick and Born to Swim. Here at the lifeguard store, we even allow you to have your logo or design printed on your cap in both latex and silicone! The options are endless, which will you choose?
