Waterproof swim cap

Abstract

A waterproof cap with at least two fasteners that allows a swimmer to gently cover his or her voluminous hair. The cap consists of a pliable and waterproof material (such as silicone, latex etc) that conforms to the volume of the swimmer's hair. The waterproof fasteners are secured resulting in a closed surface ending at the base of the cap along the swimmer's forehead. At the base of the cap along the circumference of the head, a flexible strap is used to tighten the cap. The flexible strap is used to prevent water from entering the cap's hair cover section and keeping the hair dry.
