Abstract:

A watertight swim cap has a rear skullcap section which is fabricated of silicone rubber material. The skullcap section is configured to substantially cover the head of a swimmer. A front rim section of the cap is fabricated of a silicone rubber material which is softer than the material used in the skullcap section. The top edge of the rim section is fused to the bottom edge of the skullcap section to form a single integral cap which, when worn by a swimmer, provides a watertight seal between the cap and the head of the swimmer.
