To decrease resistence while competing in a swim race. If you think about it... Hair slows the swimmers down by a lot. Your hair is a big head of..... hair.... and your swimming, water gets trapped all through your hair slowing you down quite a bit. It's much harder for people with long hair to swim with no swim cap. Even though your hair will still get wet, it decreases the resistance while swimming.

How To Put On Swimming Cap?

put both hands into the swimming cap and separate your fingers so your thumbs are stetching the back of the cap and your small fingers are stretching the front of the cap. Pull your hands apart so the cap is stretched wide.
