Swim Cap Policy

 

We require that swim caps be worn by all Mates, Voyagers, Animal Lane swimmers, and 25 Club swimmers.

Caps are available at the pool office. Or you may wear a cap you purchase elsewhere.

 

Mates:  We also have caps that you may borrow to use during a lesson.

Voyagers, Animal Lane, 25 Club:  You are responsible for bringing your own caps and goggles.

Sailors:  Caps are optional.

  1. A cap keeps a swimmer significantly warmer during the lesson. (Many triathletes use two caps for warmth during their swims.)

  2. A cap causes water to sheet cleanly off a swimmer's head. Hair on the head causes water to drip annoyingly into the face.

  3. Our coaches hold onto the swimmers' heads during the lessons. It is much easier to hold and position the head properly when the swimmer is wearing a cap.

  4. Caps keep hair in place and off the face. You do not need to put all of your long hair into your cap. Just tie your hair back or braid it and use the cap over the hair on your head. To our swimmers with buzz cuts: We do not measure swimmers' hair to determine who wears a cap and who doesn't. Caps serve several purposes, not just keeping the hair out of your face. Wearing a cap improves your ability to learn to swim during our lessons.
