Do professional swimmers use latex or sillicon caps and why?



Do professional swimmers use latex or sillicon caps and why?

For the professional in all comes down to preference. Their sponsor will provide them with whatever kind of cap they prefer. I would guess that most elite-level swimmers prefer silicone caps, as it wrinkles less than latex caps do. Silicone is what our college team hands out for championships. Source(s): fmr Big10 swimmer
Thats a question I asked my Mom like 2 days ago. She said they wear them because their hair will get in the pool and because it gets in the way.
And Thats why. My answer is corecct!
They are really inportant they halp you gain speed because your hair slows you down.I like silicone

This is a fun thing to do with swim caps:

ive used latex for eight years... i fits on my head easier. it stretches further and doesnt move once it goes on. silicon is thicker and harder to put on. but yeah. thats my opinion. =]
