Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2482258A] A swimming cap 6 defining a cavity 2 for accommodating a wearer's head, the cap further defining an enlarged volume portion 7. In use, the enlarged volume portion is positioned at the nape of the wearer's neck and contains the wearer's hair. This results in improved hydrodynamics compared to traditional swimming cap designs especially when the wearer has long hair. The cap is preferably formed from a stretch woven fabric, and comprises panels formed from seals. The cap preferably has a tactile or visual position marker, which can ensure a correct wearing position of the cap. The cap may be used as a swimming liner for overlaying with a further swimming cap.
