As if meant to be, Theresa and Ken, swim parents to swimmer Kaden, were sitting poolside. They knew David was on to something. Ken went home that day and came back to practice with a banana-shaped non-porous foam insert to try inside a basic silicone swim cap. It did what we wanted! It helped to buffer the impact of accidental collisions with the wall or other swimmers. As a bonus, the cushion inside created a wrinkle-free exterior dome surface, eliminating drag for racing. So, Theresa and David proceeded with a patent search and sourcing the talent of our engineers, designer and eventually our manufacturer.
