FAQs
Is this swim cap suitable for children?
This cap is designed for adult head sizes and may be too large for most children. Arena offers specific junior or youth swim caps.
Can I wear this cap with long hair?
Yes, but it is highly recommended to tie long hair into a bun or ponytail at the back of your head before putting on the cap to ensure it all stays contained and fits smoothly.
How do I clean the Arena Classic Silicone Swim Cap?
Rinse the cap with cold, fresh water after each use. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not use harsh chemicals.
Is the Arena Classic Silicone Swim Cap durable?
Yes, the cap is made from durable silicone material designed to withstand regular use in pool environments.
What does 'PVC free' mean for this swim cap?
'PVC free' means the cap is made without polyvinyl chloride, a type of plastic. This is often preferred for health and environmental reasons, as it avoids potential irritants found in PVC.
Will this cap keep my hair completely dry?
While the snug fit helps to minimize water entry, no swim cap can guarantee completely dry hair due to the nature of water pressure and fit around the ears and hairline.
Troubleshooting
Cap feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are stretching the cap sufficiently before putting it on. If it consistently feels too tight, it may not be the right size for your head. Try a different model if the issue persists.
Hair is not fully covered
For longer hair, tie it into a bun or ponytail at the nape of the neck before putting on the cap. Ensure the cap is pulled down fully over the back of your head.
Cap slips off during swimming
Make sure the cap is a snug fit and that there are no products (like oils or conditioners) on your hair or the cap that could reduce grip. Ensure the front edge is positioned correctly above the eyebrows.
Silicone material has a strong odor
Rinse the cap thoroughly with cool water and allow it to air dry in a well-ventilated area. The odor should dissipate over time with regular use and rinsing.
