Ponys Can't Swim
Do you swim with your hair in a swim cap? Do you sometimes find you get a headache after having the cap on for a long time? There are several things you can do to make using a swim cap the best option and most comfortable for you. If you have long hair and wear a swim cap, don't put it in a ponytail or elastic before putting on your swim cap. Instead, try this method:
• Get the cap wet first, inside and out.
• With your hair down, pull the cap over your head from front to back.
• Place the inside edge of the cap in the middle of your forehead.
• Stretch the cap over the crown and back of your head.
• Make sure the back inside edge rests just above your hairline at the base of your neck.
• Using one hand, twist or grab your hair altogether and push it up inside the back of the cap.
• Use the other hand to lift the cap out slightly and allow your hair to be pushed inside the cap.
• After all of your hair is inside, readjust it and push it around with your fingers on the outside.
This will allow a better resting place for your goggle straps without a ponytail or hair elastic in the way, and will not create a pressure point that will get more painful and give you a headache the longer you have the swim cap on.
