Hammer Head swim cap was nominated for 2021 Product of the Year by World Open Water Swimming Association (WOWSA) for disrupting the swim cap market with the world’s first protective cap that also reduces drag making it a racing cap.
WOWSA has some great tips on how choose just the right swim cap.
The first portion of a triathlon is the open water swimming. Athletes partake in a mass start where every participant races into the water at the same time. My Tri World reports that 67% of fatalities in a triathlon happen during the swim portion. As the athletes' race through open water, they have limited visibility as water and other athletes splash all around. The waters can be particularly dangerous in traffic jams at buoy turns. In rough waters, officials are in boats and kayaks in close proximity to the swimmers, creating a hazardous environment.
USA Triathlon is partnered with CRASHCourse by TECHAids, a culmination of more than two years of research and development and thousands of hours featuring 700+ powerful and personal concussion stories focused on the causes, symptoms and personal suggestions after their head injury and backed by renowned and respected organizations as BIAA, NCYS, Palo Alto VA, SPICE and in collaboration with the support of USOPC’s National Governing Bodies.
