Need a fundraiser for your swim team? I have a few great ideas for you. Almost every swim team has a team t-shirt, so instead of just taking an order and reselling the shirts to the swimmers and parents at cost you can mark the shirts up and make additional money for your swim team. Buy 50 custom printed swim team t-shirts for your team at $6.00 each and sell each shirt as a swim team fundraiser item at $12 each and you will make $300 for your swim team. Or better yet sell the shirts at $15 each and you make $450 for your swim team. You can also do the same thing with custom swim caps and custom printed water bottles.

Are you looking for custom printed swim caps? We have a few tips to for you to get the best swim team caps. There are a few materials that swim caps are made of and some to avoid. Lycra swim caps are made of the same swimsuit material and will not last long at all. Latex swim caps are one of the cheapest swim cap options, but they will fade or turn colors over time. Especially when exposed to sunlight and some swimming pool chemicals. Many swim teams purchase printed latex caps due to economic reasons however if at all possible you should look into getting a silicone swim cap. They are less likely to fade or turn colors due to sunlight and they almost never turn brown due to pool chemicals. Plus silicone swim caps are much easier to put on your head and will not pull your hair as much as the latex swim caps. They also are thicker and can last 3 to 10 times longer than a latex swim cap. So our choice for printed swim team caps is definitely the printed silicone swim caps. They are a little bit more expensive but are well worth the investment. Silicone caps can be printed with your team logo. Don’t have a swim team logo for your caps? Then ask D&J Sports Swim Shop to design one for you. They have a full-time artist on staff that can help you with your swim team mascot and logo. Plus they print swim caps for you also, at really great low prices.

Finding the Correct Swim Cap

Most people new to the sport of swimming think that swim caps just keep your hair dry, however they very rarely keep your hair dry at all. There are a few reasons to wear a swimming cap, it keeps your hair out of your face, it protects your hair from getting damaged by pool chemicals, and for the competitive swimmer it helps to reduce drag. Swim coaches and spectators like the swim caps so that they can easily spot their swimmers in the water and on the blocks.

Types of Swimming Caps:
Swimming caps come in all kinds of colors and fun designs, but the most important difference between swimming caps is the material.

Latex Caps:

These are the thinnest and cheapest and also the most common types of swimming caps, but also the least comfortable and most fragile. If you are allergic to latex, these are obviously not an a good idea for you. Latex swim caps will pull your hair more than any other type of swim cap. This is why so many people do not like swim caps, because they have only used a latex cap before. The price is the major reason why people still buy the latex swim caps. For around $3 you can purchase a latex cap. Many swim teams choose latex swim caps with their team logo or name. These custom latex swim caps are far less expensive than the alternative, silicone caps. Click here to see more latex caps.

Silicone Caps:

Over the past few years silicone swim caps have emerged as the best option for swimming caps. They are much thicker than latex caps and much more durable. The silicone swim caps are easy to put on without pulling your hair as much and they don’t break as easily as latex caps. They are also more expensive, around $10-15 at sporting goods stores, but you can find them for alotless online. The cheapest I’ve seen them is at djsports.com

Lycra Caps:

Lycra swim caps are made of swimsuit material. The only thing they can do for you is keep your hair out of your face. Some people like them because they are easy to get on but for almost the same price as a silicone cap they only last about a month. This is not a very good investment of your money.
