swim caps
Aquatic hair covers
Swim caps are close-fitting coverings worn over the hair during swimming.
They keep hair out of the face, reduce drag in competitive swimming, and protect hair from chlorine damage.
Most are made of silicone or latex.
Pool rules sometimes require them: The lap pool requires swim caps for swimmers with long hair.
