swimming caps

Aquatic hair covers

Swimming caps are close-fitting head coverings worn in the water, typically made of silicone, latex, or lycra.

They serve multiple purposes: keeping hair dry, reducing drag for competitive swimmers, and preventing loose hair from clogging pool filters.

Many pools require them for hygiene reasons.
