What it is?
Now, your head can “Be Bright & Be Seen” even further with the New Wave Swim Cap. Available in easy-to-see fluorescent colors, these silicone swim caps will elevate your color coordination game. Mix and match your favorite bright colors of the New Wave Swim Buoys and Bubbles to your goggles, swimsuit and your swim cap.
These swim caps, or as some in the U.K. call them “swimming hats” or "bathing caps" are a quick way for you to take your competitive aspirations to the next level. Whether you are training indoors or outdoors in open water, this cap is designed to comfortably contour to your head, significantly reducing drag. Also, swim goggles fit much better without hair getting in the way.
Silicone swim caps are more durable, softer, and more comfortable than latex. Silicone creates a smoother, wrinkle-free outer surface to reduce drag. The silicone material is more breathable than latex, which will allow your head to breath and prevent overheating during your workout, and the silicone cap will dry faster than latex.
If you have long hair, unlike latex caps that pull or stick to your hair, thick silicone doesn't pull your hair or stick to it. Got that?! It’s not sticky! It is tight without being uncomfortable, unlike your jeans after a Thanksgiving dinner. Are you tired of your boring, old, non-humorous swimming cone? Then why not try the “silly cone?!” *Crickets chirp* -__-
Even if you have short hair, the New Wave Swim Cap will keep your dome protected from the sun’s harmful UV rays. You can never be too careful; climate change is a very real global issue, people! *wink-wink* It is very important to NOT poke your nails or fingers through the cap. Always rinse it in cold fresh water to keep pool chemicals from weakening the silicone. Store inside-out to keep your cap from sticking together.

Here is what our customers say about their experience with the New Wave Swim Caps:
Easy to get on and off. Love the bright colors for open water swimming - gives me confidence because I am easy to spot.
When swimming in cold water, it keeps me warmer, reduces the amount of water getting in my ears, and offers a bit of protection for my hair.
These are THE BEST swim caps. They stay put and are comfortable to wear.
I love these caps! Super bright and visible for open water swimming.
