    Once I have access to a pool regularly again I'm sure I will.

    I hit on a system for protecting my long hair while swimming if anyone is interested.

    First, make sure your hair is well saturated with tap water in the shower. Coil it on top of your head. Next, take your lycra cap and saturate that with tap water and cover all your hair with it. Alone, the lycra cap is worthless and will fall off immediately in the water. However! Next, take a latex or silicone cap (get the one sized for long hair) and cover the lycra cap with that. Make sure the silicone or latex cap extends beyond the latex cap all the way around your head, and contacts about half an inch of skin to form a seal.

    Swim. In the shower afterward remove the caps and rinse your hair well again with tap water. Condition or whatever you do.

    The latex or silicone keeps the lycra on, and the lycra keeps the latex or silicone from sticking all to your hair like rubber bands.
