Trek, is your hair like buzz short? I started using a cap this year, but I just put it on over my hair. I used to swim with my hair just pulled back but with Masters class 2x a week I figured I should find out why everyone else wore the caps. Surprisingly, they were awesome. They kept the little bits of wispies on my forehead from getting in my eyes, which I never really noticed until I used the cap. Plus, it kinda adds... bouyancy?... to your head, I dunno, but it's a cool feeling, and makes you feel faster even if you're not, because you really don't realize the drag a little bit of hair causes. Anyway, I don't think there's any one right way to do things, but like most stuff do do with crazy sports, everyone has their own way, you know??

Plus I have it salon-enhanced (um...assisting with covering the aging process AND assisting with the so-called natural beauty!) and I pay too much to mess with it. The products I use are good though.

Lovely. Don't think I didn't think about that in OW swim today!

The coach was supportive about the breathing on both sides thing too. She said everyone has a retarded side. I appreciate that thought-process. I think sometimes I have two
