Double Swim Caps
Many swimmers have trouble finding a swim cap that keeps their hair dry. Wearing two swim caps "double capping" can provide a tighter swim cap seal. An inner silicon or latex swim cap pulled low over the ears worn under a second traditional style chin strap swim cap with an inner seal may provide the protection desired. "Double capping" is also used by participants of open water swimming to provide warmth.
During the 2012 Olympics held in London U.K. Some swimmers wore double swim caps, the reason is the inner cap is latex and grips the head, their swim goggles go over the latex swim cap and a second snug silicon swim cap is fitted over the goggles and inner cap making as smooth a surface as possible for maximum streamlining.

Famous quotes containing the words double, swim and/or caps:
“Actually being married seemed so crowded with unspoken rules and odd secrets and unfathomable responsibilities that it had no more occurred to her to imagine being married herself than it had to imagine driving a motorcycle or having a job. She had, however, thought about being a bride, which had more to do with being the center of attention and looking inexplicably, temporarily beautiful than it did with sharing a double bed with someone with hairy legs and a drawer full of boxer shorts.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Like the shark, it contains a shoe.
It must swim for miles through the desert
Uttering cries that are almost human.”
—Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
“... people were so ridiculous with their illusions, carrying their fools’ caps unawares, thinking their own lies opaque while everybody else’s were transparent, making themselves exceptions to everything, as if when all the world looked yellow under a lamp they alone were rosy.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
