The advantage of Competition Swim Caps
A Competition Cap has a major advantage. Designs can be printed on the top of the cap, on the sides, as well in the front and back. Standard prices are applicable for printing the same design on either side. For printing on additional areas or printing multiple designs, there will be an extra charge. Custom quotes will be available on request.
For a more affordable option, the Custom Printed Latex Caps are a good choice. They are made from Latex rubber and are a popular choice of athletes who prefer a looser and tighter fit. These caps are most suited for swimming practice, outdoor swimming events, and triathlons. They are commonly used by representative teams in schools, colleges, universities, clubs, as well as at promotional, competitive, and special events.
For a first-time swimmer, keeping the hair out of the eyes is very important so that the vision is not blocked. Of course, this factor is important for a swimmer at any level, even a professional to maintain speed and accuracy. For beginners, the Custom Printed Polyester Caps are just perfect due to their easy-fit 3-panel construction. Teachers find them useful because the caps can not only be custom-branded with the school logo on the sides but can also be colour coded to identify the skill levels of different students while they are in the water even from a distance.

During the 2012 London Olympics swimming events, some of the participants wore double swimming caps. They used a latex cap inside to keep the hair away from the face.

How do you decide which type of swim cap is ideal for you?
While swimming, you need to concentrate on your strokes irrespective of whether you are a rookie or a pro. Your life could depend on having the clearest vision in the water without any obstructions. So buying the most suitable swim cap could mean a matter of life and death. These are some of our custom printed swim caps:
Latex Swim Caps – This is one of the most commonly used leisure swim caps.
Pros: Latex is a synthetic rubber and the caps are really affordable. Quality Latex Swim Caps protect your hair from the chlorine in the water and are available for a snug fit as well as a loose fit.
Con: Those who are allergic to chemical-based products against their skin and hair do not use the Latex.
Silicone – Silicone caps are the most cost-effective variety.
Pros: This is the most flexible, snug fit, and comfortable variety of swim caps. Due to their comfortable value, they are very popular with professionals. But they are also recommended for beginners or mid-level swimmers who need a snug-fitting swim cap so that the hair does not block their vision and they can focus on learning the strokes. Silicone Caps are also the most durable ones. Silicone material does not cause allergic reactions so they can be worn by anyone.
Cons: The silicone material is slippery. Swimmers with long and silky hair sometimes find it difficult to keep the cap in place because they tend to slip off while they are swimming.
Lycra and Polyester Swim Caps Very stretchable caps
Pros: Made with Lycra and polyester are truly stretchable and will give you a very comfortable fit. They can effectively keep the hair away from the face while in a pool and will protect your hair from the UV rays while swimming outdoors.
Cons: Swim caps made with Lycra and polyester to some extent do not protect your hair from the effects of chlorine. These materials tend to absorb water during your swim.
Many people use Lycra and polyester caps underneath their Latex rubber caps. This helps to keep the hair away from the face and from getting snagged anywhere.
Ultimately, while choosing Cap with Logo that is perfect for your needs, you have to take several factors into consideration. The cap must be durable. It must fit comfortably and be sufficiently snug to keep your hair out of your face. But it must not be so tight that it becomes either uncomfortable or keeps slipping off while you are still in the water. Latex, Lycra, and polyester swim caps tend to stretch so you should not choose one just by sight. It is sensible to use a measuring tape and take measurements around your head to buy the right size cap.
Swim Caps
Swim Caps for Kids under training
For a kid who is undergoing professional swimming training, a good swim cap will reduce drag and improve the performance. Of course, this is applicable even if the child is learning swimming as just a hobby. Kids also need a swim cap that will keep the hair out of the eyes and to protect the head against accidental collision against the edge of the swimming pool. After all, the kids are still learning the ropes and are not yet experienced in the water. So using the premium quality silicone swim cap becomes imperative.

The pro season has kicked off last, as the top pro series hits a new slate of cities for 2019. With less than 20 months to go until Tokyo, this year in pro swimming will have some terrific storylines to set up for the global stage in 2020.
Here are a few things to keep an eye on in 2019, as the Olympic countdown begins.
Can any of the youngsters rise to challenge Katie Ledecky?

Athletes find their motivational fuel from a variety of things: inner drive, their coaches, their teammates – and oftentimes, the support and opportunity for success in front of the home crowd. Home country medal counts and gold medals have surged at recent Olympics and the same is likely in Japan, which has a proud sporting tradition. Japanese swimmers excel at several events like breaststroke and the men’s IM, and it will be interesting to see if increased depth or new talent shines through over the course of the 2019 swim season and the 2019 World Championships, held just a short flight from Japan in Gwangju, South Korea. If they do, there’s no denying the Japanese team will be a motivated bunch over the coming year and could steal some medals – and thunder – from some of the traditional swim powers come Tokyo 2020.
No one will match the range of Katie Ledecky with her custom printed swim caps any time soon and her current position as the favourite in 200m through 1500m freestyle remains, but there are signs that young challengers – all currently 20-years-old or younger – might emerge for Tokyo. Canadian Taylor Ruck (18) posted the best time in the 200m free this year at Pan Pacs as Ledecky finished third. Italian Simona Quadarella is more of a long-distance freestyler but she too is improving with custom water polo caps and deck coats for swimmers closing the gap – if only a little – in the 800m and 1500m freestyles. Perhaps the most dangerous is Australian Ariarne Titmus (18), who lowered her times in the 400m by big numbers this year. As supporters of Team USA, we love seeing Ledecky win – but a little competition never hurts. Federer wouldn’t be Federer without Nadal. The 90s Lakers wouldn’t be legends without custom team swim caps. Here’s to the possibility of some budding rivalries.

How to Put on a Swim Cap
Wearing a cap has various advantages, such as helping to keep some of the heavily chlorinated pool water off your hair, helping to keep your hair out of your face while you swim, and helping to lessen resistance as you swim. From the point of view of the pool owner, it also helps to keep your hair out of the pool filters. Swim caps are simple in design, but they can be fairly tricky to put on. With a few easy tips, you’ll be able to put on your swim cap on quickly and painlessly.
Putting on a Swim Cap by Yourself
Tie back your hair. If you have long hair, use a hair tie to put your hair in a ponytail or bun (depending on the length of your hair).[1] Be sure that your hair is tied firmly so that it is secure.
- The swim cap may force your hair to shift and pull your hair down, so you may wish to tie your hair a little higher than you would expect it to be positioned in the cap.
- Wet your hair with water from the bathroom or change-rooms. Dunk your head into the water in a basin, or run your hair under a shower for a couple of seconds. Wetting your hair makes it easier for the cap material to slide over your hair. Caps tend to stick to and pull dry hair strands.
- Consider coating your hair with a thin layer of conditioner. This will make putting the cap on a lot easier.
- Open the swim cap. Open the swim cap with your hands, and consider wetting the inside of the cap. Wetting the inside of the cap isn’t necessary, but some people have found that wetting the inside makes the cap easier to put on. Hold the sides of the swim cap with your two hands.
- Wetting the cap may also make it harder to put on––it depends on the type of cap used.
- Pull the swim cap onto your head. Tilt your head down and place the front of the swim cap at your forehead in between your hairline and eyebrows.[2] Allow the swim cap to catch at your forehead, and use your hands to pull the swim cap down and back to cover the rest of your head.
- Adjust the swim cap. Once the swim cap is on your head, make any necessary adjustments. Tuck stray hairs into the cap, reposition the front of the cap so that it covers your hairline but isn’t over your eyebrows. Then position the cap around your ears.[3] Pull the back of the cap to make sure it is as secure as possible, and put on your goggles.
- Positioning the cap near your ears is mostly based on personal preference. Some people like to cover their ears completely with the cap, especially if they are racing. Others like to cover half of their ears, while some don’t cover their ears at all.
- Wetting the cap may also make it harder to put on––it depends on the type of cap used.
- Consider coating your hair with a thin layer of conditioner. This will make putting the cap on a lot easier.
- Effect of swim cap model on passive drag.

Interesting Facts About Swim Caps
5 Things You Didn’t Know About Swim Caps
A swim cap is a vital piece of equipment for swimmers. It reduces drag by creating a smooth surface over which the water flows. While most people are familiar with the general concept behind swim caps, there are some things you probably don’t know about them.
Double Capping
Some swimmers wear not one but two swim caps. Known as “double capping,” this provides a stronger and more secure cap seal for optimal streamlining. Some swimmers during the 2012 Olympics in London, for instance, wore an inner latex cap underneath a silicone cap. This kept their goggles from moving around while also creating a smooth surface on their head. Of course, other swimmers prefer to wear a traditional chin-strap swim cap over a silicone cap.
Mandatory Swim Caps
Some pools and swimming facilities have strict rules requiring all swimmers to wear swim caps. This is because loose hair may clog their pool filters, preventing the filtration system from effectively removing contaminants and impurities from the water. So before jumping into a new and unfamiliar pool, read the rules to see if caps are required. Even if they aren’t required, though, it’s usually a good idea to wear one.
Custom Designed Swim Caps
Tired of wearing the same generic swim cap as everyone else? Well, you can differentiate yourself from the competition by wearing a swimming cap with a custom design. Here at SwimCapz, for instance, you can create and upload your own design. Want tiger stripes? Maybe you prefer your last name in a stylish font? Or perhaps you want an inspirational quote to motivate you? The design possibilities are endless thanks to this customization featured.
Invented During the Late 1800s
Some of the world’s first swim caps were invented during the late 1800s. After the rubber was invented, caps for swimming and bathing soon followed. Granted, these caps were basic in terms of design and construction, but they laid the foundation for one of the most important accessories in competitive swimming. It wasn’t until the 1920s when latex swimming caps were introduced – with silicone soon to follow.
Silicone Trumps Rubber and Latex
If you’re looking for a new swim consider, consider a silicone cap. Silicone is stronger and more durable than its counterparts, offering countless years of use when properly cared for. Most seasoned swimmers will also agree that latex caps are easier to take on and off. Rubber caps have a tendency to pull hair, but thankfully this isn’t a problem with silicone.
The History of Swim Caps
History of Swim Caps
There was a time when swim caps did more than just protect swim athletes’ hair from harsh elements, and reduce swimmers drag. They were indispensable fashion accessories. About 70 years ago, no woman’s swim costume would have been complete without one.
Although the idea of covering hair while bathing began long before our grandmothers basked in public swimming pools, the more than the century-old modern history of traditional swim caps begins with the invention of rubber, in 1883.
Fashion swim caps, then and now
Bathing caps have long been used, in one form or another. In ancient times, people were known to have worn hair nets made from waxed taffeta, or synthetic silk, to keep their dos from getting damp. Rubber was introduced over a century ago and opened the door to many new inventions, including swim caps made from rubber-like fabric, to complete full body swim costumes.
Early modern swim caps looked like aviator helmets; they had chin straps to hold them in place. By the roaring ’20s, the invention of latex had led to the making of stretchier swim caps that fit right in with the styles of the day, considering head-hugging cloches were very popular. Since swimming had won acceptance as a sport, and fashion bathing suits were on the rise, it looked as if the swim cap had met its match.
During World War II, the availability of swim caps took a dive when rubber was widely used to make war materials and became sparse. Any woman who had one to protect her pricy salon ‘do was considered a lucky gal!
And they were a perfect fit on film. Cinematic “aqua musicals” starring famed swimmer and movie star Esther Williams gained popularity in the 1940s and featured synchronized swimming and an expose of elaborate, decorative swim caps set with the stylish bathing suits of the time.
Swim caps of the 1950s were colourful and textured and still cherished by women who spent a lot of time setting and curling their hair. Elaborate, retro swim caps reached their apex.
History of swim caps – from fashion to function
Things changed in the 1960s and ’70s. On one hand, long hair had become the trend and public swimming pools had established strict rules requiring people to wear swim caps. When women began sporting more convenient cuts, they no longer wore them unless they had to. Swim caps were a necessity, but as fashion curios were on the sharp decline. Floral swim caps maintained their popularity among older generations of swimmers. If it weren’t for recreation swimming rules, and swimming as a competitive sport, swim caps would have all but disappeared. No longer a fashion statement, the swim cap was worn for purely functional reasons. Durable and resilient silicone swim caps were introduced in more recent years, and are considered now to be the most popular of its kind.
Swim caps today are used mainly by swim athletes to reduce drag and protect their hair from harsh chemicals in the pool. The growing interest in competitive swimming in the 1980s and ’90s led to a surge in swim cap production. Competition swim caps are available today in many styles, materials, and colourful and unique prints. Check some of them out at Epic Sports’ complete swim cap line!
History of swim caps – looking ahead
In earlier days, swim caps simply served the dual purpose of protecting hairdos and topping off stylish swim costumes. Today, the swim cap and its advanced technologies have become an indispensable part of competition swimwear. Swim caps protect an athlete’s head from the elements and improve her performance by cutting down on drag which, to world-class swimmers, can mean all the difference between first place finishes or not. And any champion swimmer can tell you that being one of the fastest swimmers in the world is no drag at all!
History of swim caps, at a glance:
Going way back… Men and women are known to have bound their hair with nets made from taffeta, which is synthetic silk, and straw.
1883 – The invention of rubber opened the door to modern swim caps made from rubberized materials that were often covered with silky fabrics for a more fashionable cap for women.
1900-1920s – Swim caps became a fashion accessory to the full body swimsuit worn in public, and as swimming grew more popular as a sport, an indispensable piece of racing gear. The swim cap fit the styles of the period, covering bobbed dos and looked much like the form-fitting hats worn at the time.
The 1940s – World War II created a shortage in rubber, and the production of swim caps sank.
The 1950s – Swim caps were back – colourful, flowery, and more fashionable than ever. Many women still wore them to keep their dos from dipping in the water.
The 1960s – Swim caps were starting to lose their popularity as a fashion statement, however public swimming pools began to have standard rules for wearing them because of the long hair trends of the day.
The 1970s – Except for swim athletes, and people dipping into public swimming pools, swim caps had lost their popularity.
The 1980s and beyond… Swim caps of the current day are stylish, versatile and affordable. They’re available in latex, silicone, and Lycra, neoprene for open swim and scuba diving wetsuits. Swim caps come in a variety of updated colours and fun prints to suit every taste and style, for recreational and competitive swimmers of all abilities.

Swimming is all about hydrodynamics. We want to make our bodies as smooth and slick as possible when moving through the water. Resistance or drag, no matter how small, can affect the outcome of a swimmer’s race. The same can be said about swim caps. Traditional latex or silicone caps typically create wrinkles on top of the head, which in turn creates drag (see image below). Your head is one of the first things to hit the water when diving in. That drag from the cap will slow the swimmer down right off the bat.
A dome cap eliminates this problem. This type of cap is 3D-molded or formed around the shape of a human head. This moulding process removes the wrinkles and provides a smooth surface across the top of the head. A dome cap makes a difference in a race and can help you improve your time. Competitive swimming experts agree to wear a dome cap, “is the easiest thing someone can do to swim faster.”
What to Expect from Swim Caps
Quality performance caps are designed to hold their shape and colour season after season. The company itself is named after the Norse god of warriors, and for serious swimmers, the sleek coverage doesn’t get more legit. Its women’s and men’s swim caps come in soft materials like Lycra and silicone, so you don’t need to worry about painful friction against your hair or skin. They’re no-nonsense and dependable, wherever the competition may take you.
Swim Caps for Cancer Patients
A swim cap can be a wonderful accessory to keep on hand, especially if your sensitive scalp is irritated by chlorine or the harmful effects of UV radiation. Even if you’re not planning on getting wet, a swim cap offers protection from the elements while offering up a fresh bit of sporty or retro flair. If you are planning on diving in, it’s a good idea to first ask your healthcare team if swimming is safe for your condition. Your doctor may recommend against it if you’re more susceptible to germs in the water. But when you do get the green light, go for it! Swimming is a soothing exercise that’s great for building strength in your bones and muscles. It’s low impact, and the moves are easily adaptable for different levels of fitness abilities. And if you’re wearing our swimming caps, the only thing you’ll need to worry about is when to come up for air.
How to Choose a Swim Cap Material
Swim caps come in four main materials: Lycra, latex, rubber and silicone. Each material has special features that recommend it for a specific functional use. Here’s what you need to know:
Silicone. Smooth and build to last, silicone caps are often preferred by professionals and serious swimmers. It’s thicker than latex, and the slick texture makes putting it on and taking it off a breeze (Olympic athletes tend to agree).
Lycra. It’s stretchy but still gentle, great for sensitive scalps. If your number one pet peeve is hair that gets pulled while adjusting your cap, then opt for this flexible material. While it won’t keep your hair dry, it does protect from UV rays and helps mitigate damage caused by chlorine.
Rubber. Thick and highly durable rubber is great for cold-weather swimming due to its insulating properties. It also holds shape and colour well, so many of our vintage and retro caps are made with rubber.
Latex. This is a budget-friendly option that behaves like Lycra but typically comes at a lower price point. Latex will keep hair out of your face and its snug fit reduces water resistance, so it’s a good choice if skin sensitivity isn’t your top concern.
How to Put on a Swim Cap
Putting on a swim cap isn’t exactly intuitive. In fact, it takes a bit of strategy to neatly tuck everything inside without ripping or damaging the cap. So before you leap into the pool, be sure to remove any jewellery from your fingers and take sharp objects like clips or pins out of your hair. If you’ve got long hair, tying it up into a bun first can help keep everything under control.
To put it on, first, place both hands in the interior of the cap and gently stretch to open. Arc your fingers to avoid poking your fingernails through the material. Place the front interior edge against your forehead, then centre the cap over the crown of your hair, tug it down, and remove your hands.
How To Put on Your Swim Cap
Putting On The Swim Cap
First, it is best to have your hair and your cap wet. Then, the best way to do this is to hold the cap by the sides and open the cap as wide as possible. Then bring your head forward into the cap. Start by pulling the cap over your forehead then carry on working it down towards the back of your head.
If you have long hair you should put your hair in a mid to low loose ponytail. Leave your hair out to the back. Pull the cap on halfway. Then twist up the rest of your ponytail up into the cap. Try to put it in the cap as evenly as possible so that the cap still has a good seal. Tuck any flyaway hairs along your face up into the cap. These small hairs can get tangled in your goggles when you are swimming and it will be painful to unravel them when you are done.
What to Avoid
Be careful not you use your fingernails when putting on your cap. A small tear can quickly grow and you don’t want anything distracting you in the swim.
Putting the swim cap too low on your forehead. Make sure that your goggles are touching your face and not your swim cap.
– Happy swimming!
Choosing the right Swim Cap depends on two main factors: the type of swimming you’ll be engaging in, and how you want the swim cap to fit on your head. Once you’ve narrowed down your choices with these considerations in mind, picking the right cap is fairly simple. Take a look at a few of our top tips before you purchase your next swim cap.
Types of Swimming
First, consider how you’ll be using your swim cap. Are you planning to wear your cap while swimming laps, or during a water aerobics class? Several very different types of swim caps are recommended for swimmers here, depending on which category you fall in.
Lap swimmers and competitive swim athletes will benefit most from the hydrodynamic qualities of latex and silicone caps, helping swimmers cut through the water smoothly and easily. The smooth surface created by silicone and latex caps reduces drag for improved efficiency. Latex is typically the cheapest swim cap material, and latex caps are generally more widely available. Silicone Caps while slightly more expensive than latex, are more durable, and usually, offer more comfort.
If you plan to swim in open water, neoprene caps might be your best bet. Known for its insulating ability, neoprene can keep you warm in colder waters, and is also the most buoyant of all swim cap materials. In addition to the swim cap material, open water swimmers should consider visibility factors. A brightly-coloured swim cap will help rescuers or officials spot swimmers more easily in open waters.
Those who are looking for a Budget solution for water aerobics or therapy may want to consider Lycra. A mesh, breathable material, Lycra swim caps will do the job of keeping your hair dry and out of your face, without sacrificing comfort. Latex and silicone are less forgiving materials, and can retain heat as you exercise, leaving you with a “hothead.” Lycra allows you to stay cool and comfortable.
Swim Cap Fit
Your hair type is another factor to consider when choosing a swim cap. If you have long, thick hair, your best bet is to choose a silicone swim cap. Silicone will adjust to accommodate your longer hair, without painfully grabbing onto or tugging at your hair as you slip your cap on and off for workouts or races. Silicone is also a more durable material than latex and is less likely to rip as you pull it on to cover your hair.
Why wear one?
Professional swimmers can never be found without one in the pool, but hobby swimmers are increasingly wearing a swim cap. A cap of latex or silicone has all kinds of benefits that make them so popular among swimmers! Do you have any doubts about buying one? In this article, we have set out three very good reasons to wear one during bathing.
Protection against chlorine
Most swimming pools contain natural chlorine to keep the water clean. Chlorine is an extremely chemical product that is very dangerous in large quantities, but the small amounts that are found in the pool are obviously not harmful. However, over time, your hair can become dry or fluffy when you swim a lot because the whole small amount of chlorine in the water slowly has an effect. If you wear a bathing cap over your hair, your hair will get much less in contact with the chlorine in the pool water and damage your hairless!
Keep Hair together
This reason is of course mainly for people with long hair. When you swim without a swimming cap, your hair floats around you all the way. If you have been underwater and emerges again, it can all be driven in your face and you will see nothing more! Getting your hair out of your face takes precious time and is a waste of your speed. In addition, it will keep loose hair out of the pool, which is more hygienic for everyone.
Streamlined swimming
All that loose floating hair is not only troublesome when it floats in your face, it also captures resistance from the water. For both people with long hair and people with short hair, a swimming cap provides a smoother surface where the water is more easily sided, making you more streamlined and therefore easier to swim.
With a little help, choosing a Cheap product is an easy task. Ultimately, your swim cap selection should complement your swimming activities feel great when you’re wearing it.
3 Basic Types of Swim Caps – How To Choose
There are three basic types of swim caps on the market. Swim cap material is the biggest decision – they do not all have the same intended use, so let’s get talking!
Lycra Swim Caps
Are you aquaciser? If you like to do water aerobics, aquatic therapy, or work against the current in the lazy river, a Lycra cap might be perfect for you. Lycra is made of a soft, breathable fabric so you won’t get a ‘hot head’ doing your Swim Workout. They are strong enough to keep your hair in place and out of your face, but stretchy enough to be comfortable.
Latex
Lap swimmers, you are looking for something different and more streamlined. One option is a latex cap. Latex is a stretchy and durable rubber (if cared for). Latex caps are more widely available and are also the least expensive. Latex caps are available in solids, patterns, and team prints. These caps are often included in race bags for triathlons or open water swimming competitions. They are easily customized to give a team or event a unified look. You can race in them, train in them, and if you accidentally rip one or lose one – the inexpensive price won’t break the bank.
Silicone
Option number two, also recommended for lap swimmers, is a moulded silicone cap. Silicone caps are more expensive than latex caps, but outlast them without fail. Soft silicone doesn’t grab your hair like latex and will stretch to accommodate different amounts of hair. Silicone swimming caps are for everyone, and Kiefer has an excellent selection to choose from:
Because silicone bathing caps are more user-friendly, have a longer life, and offer a soft grip around your head, I put them at the front of the field.
Speciality
Silicone has more mould varieties then latex and additional speciality styles are available for smaller audiences: Ultimately, swimmers should go with what they like. Try different bathing cap materials and different brands until you find your favourite. Just because you don’t swim laps doesn’t mean you won’t prefer latex or silicone over Lycra.
The important thing is you get yourself in the water and just keep swimming!
