Product Information
Full details
The Speedo Swim Cap is designed for recreational and fitness swimmers seeking a reliable, comfortable head covering that minimizes hair exposure in the pool. Its standout benefit is the quick-dry polyester construction that offers greater comfort than traditional latex or silicone caps, though users should note it is not intended to keep hair completely dry during underwater submersion.

FAQs
Is this cap 100% waterproof?
No. The polyester fabric is breathable and comfortable, meaning water will pass through the material.
Will this cap pull my hair?
The polyester fabric is much gentler on hair than silicone or latex, making it a great choice for those who dislike the hair-tugging sensation of standard caps.
How do I choose the right size?
The Speedo Swim Cap is designed as a one-size-fits-all product, utilizing the stretch of the polyester fabric to accommodate various head sizes.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash the cap with fresh water. Machine washing can potentially damage the fabric fibers and the logo.
What colors are available?
The cap is available in Black, Blue, and Pink.
Troubleshooting
Cap sliding off during turns
Ensure the cap is pulled far enough down to cover the ears completely and that hair is secured in a flat bun or ponytail to provide a smooth base.
Fabric feels saturated with water
This is expected as the cap is made of porous fabric; it is designed to keep hair out of the face rather than keeping hair dry.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- More comfortable and easier to put on than silicone caps
- Highly durable fabric resistant to chlorine degradation
- Quick-drying properties for convenient gym-bag storage
- Maintains structural integrity and shape after repeated use
Cons
- Permeable fabric does not provide a watertight seal for hair
- Less hydrodynamic profile compared to silicone race caps
- Not suitable for those requiring complete water-blocking for hair health
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To put on the cap, simply widen it with both hands and place it over the forehead, sliding it back over the crown of your head. Because it is a fabric-based cap, it is compatible with most hair types and is less prone to slipping when wet compared to latex. To ensure longevity, rinse the cap thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every swim session to remove chlorine residue. Allow the cap to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area—avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or a sealed bag, as this can break down the fabric fibers over time.
