[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rubber swim caps can actually be pretty hard for kid to get on by themselves. I understand what OP means as my DD also has long thick hair and it will stay wet and get her clothes wet. Towel drying and the putting in a bun helps some.[/quote]

OP here, thanks for understanding. When she did swim I put her hair in a bun, but towel drying on her own is hard. To get it reasonably dry (eg not dripping wet) when we swim outside of school she wears it in a turbie twist for about 20 minutes. Without doing this, her hair is getting her neck and the back of her shirt wet for the rest of the day. I know this is not a huge deal, just seems unnecessary given that they only end up swimming for about 20 minutes by the time they get to the pool, change, etc. It is not like she doesn't get plenty of other opportunities to swim, and when we do my husband is great about making sure she does laps and practices different strokes. So the added benefit of swimming at school doesn't seem worth the drawbacks. [/quote]
