Wherever you\u2019re swimming, whether it\u2019s your local leisure pool or in open water, a swim cap is an essential piece of kit. Swim caps ensure you remain streamlined and help reduce drag in the water, so they\u2019re a handy tool if you\u2019re looking to keep your time as tight as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, they also help protect your hair from chlorine damage and, while there are swim shampoos and conditioners<\/a><\/strong> available, wearing a swim cap helps to keep your hair as dry and tangle-free as possible.<\/p>\n

Hygiene is another factor to consider, and it\u2019s compulsory to wear swim caps at some swimming venues, so it\u2019s a wise idea to have an emergency swim cap in your bag so you\u2019re not turned away.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re still not convinced, swim caps are an important part of swim safety. Brightly coloured swim caps increase your visibility in open water so it\u2019s a good idea to wear one. We\u2019ve included plenty of vibrant options in our list so you\u2019re sure to be easily spotted.<\/p>\n

You might even want to double up and wear two swim caps if you\u2019re in chilly water. If you\u2019d rather opt for a thicker option, take at look at the best cold water swim hats<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
