1. How to choose the material of your swimming cap: Fabric Composition: Made from a fabric similar to a swimsuit, it is easy to put on without pulling your hair. It is finished with a seam around the head for a secure fit.
Coated fabric:
This variation of the mesh cap is also comfortable. It is covered with a layer of silicone which helps stop water getting in and makes it less stretchy for a more secure fit.
Silicone:
Less comfortable but very stretchy, it provides excellent stability and keeps out the most water.

- hairstyle caps: these are very stretchy and made of mesh.
- bubble cap: made from latex and can be put on without pulling the hair.
- volume or extra-volume caps: the shape of these silicone caps leave more room for thick hair.
- moulded or dome caps: these silicone caps are used in competitions.
