Are there other types of swimming caps?
There are several alternatives to standard swimming caps that suit everyone's needs:
- mesh cap: These are very stretchy and made of mesh.
- bubble cap: Made of latex and can be put on without pulling hairs.
- volume or extra volume caps: The shape of these silicone caps leaves more room for thick hair.
- molded or domed caps: These silicone caps are used in competitions.
- neoprene caps: perfect for open water swimming.
How to choose your swimming cap size
S, M, L, one size… Which one to choose? The choice is quite simple: Fabric and coated mesh caps come in different sizes (S, M, L), whereas silicone caps come in one size because they are very stretchy. For a definitive answer, here’s a small guide based on your head size:
- XS: 50-52 cm (available in the baby section)
- S: 53-56 cm
- M: 56-59 cm
- L: 59-62 cm
- One size: from 53 to 62 cm.
How to choose the material for your swimming cap
MESH: Made from a material similar to a swimsuit, it's easy to put on without pulling hair. It is finished with a seam around the head for a secure fit.
COATED MESH:
This variant of the mesh cap is also comfortable. It is covered with a silicone coating that limits water entry and makes it less elastic for a more secure fit. SILICONE:
Less comfortable, but very elastic, it offers excellent stability and keeps out most of the water.
How to put on your swimming cap
Did you know? There's a right way and a wrong way to wear a swim cap! Mesh caps have a central band designed to go from front to back. For silicone caps, the fold line (visible when stretched out) is made in the same direction as the others. Put both hands together inside the cap. Spread your hands (and fingers) to create space, then put on the cap. At the front, it should be approximately one finger's width above your eyebrows.
Why should you wear a swimming cap?
There are two main reasons. Firstly, wearing a cap is a sign of respect for the place where you are swimming. By securing your hair, you help keep the water and facilities clean, ensuring a certain level of hygiene in the pool or aquatic area. Secondly, you're also wearing it for yourself! A cap protects hair from damage by water, chlorine (or other chemicals) and salt (or other impurities).
