Swimming caps help swimmers to be more streamlined through the water by keeping the hair close to the scalp.

They can be used in competitions and, like swimsuits, have benefited from technological advances.

The latest designs do not pull your hair and they keep it dry too.

They are made of plastic, latex or lycra and are prone to ripping as they are made from lightweight material.
