Elite Competitive Swimmer Testimonials

"There is a reason we wear a helmet when cycling. There is a reason we wear lights and reflective clothing while running at dusk or later. There is also a reason we should wear a protective swim cap when training and competing in the water. Mass swim starts are insane and for all of us who get knocked in the head by another swimmer knows how crazy you feel for the rest of the race! When weather makes waters rough other swimmers and kayaks blow on top of us. Hammer Head can make a huge difference. Keep safety top of mind!"

Joy McAdams

Ironman Competitor and Momx5

"Safety is of the utmost importance in our sport - emotional, mental and physical. I am excited to align with Hammer Head who shares the same who values. You gotta check them out! Hammer Head the safest, fastest, most comfortable and longest lasting swim cap in the world."

Josh Davis

Olympic Gold Medalist, and former world record-holder, NCAA DII Head Swim Coach and Founder of BREAKOUT! Swim Clinic

"In a drag study test we found that by wearing this new technology at top race speed, compared to wearing a conventional silicone cap, passive drag force was reduced by up to 10.5%. So, in a 33 second 50 meter freestyle tenths of seconds can be shaved. That is certainly enough to win (or not win) a race." Checkout my 4 tips on how to swim faster video!

"As a researcher and head safety advocate, protecting your head and optimizing head safety is critical to maintaining brain health throughout every stage of life, but particularly from youth to young adulthood when the brain is undergoing development. During these formative years of brain maturation, sustaining concussions can have a lasting impact on your overall health. Ensuring you are protecting your head while improving your fitness can only produce everlasting benefits that are beyond the arena of the pool. Hammer Head's innovative swim cap provides you with a honeycomb technology that absorbs and distributes the force of a head collision to reduce the impact that your brain could ultimately sustain. I highly recommend this cap as this is the world's first protective swim cap and there are no other products like Hammer Head." Click to learn more.

"Hammer Head is a simple but  essential piece of equipment for aquatic athletes. Let's be real, head hits occur everyday above and below the surface. And for the first time ever, Hammer Head combines head protection that is 50% safer than other caps, performance that can improve your speed up to 0.6 seconds in a 50 free and seamless durability that will outlast any other cap!"

"Hammer Head is critical for head safety in Triathlete competition mass starts. Besides really appreciating the additional head protection, I love the
hydrodynamic design and comfortable fit. I feel faster and more confident in the water."

"As athletes' race through open water, they have limited visibility as water and other athletes splash all around. The waters can be particularly dangerous during the mass starts and 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. That is where Hammer Head comes in. Make it part of your standard equipment list....it is the least you can to do protect yourself."

Quinn Fitzgerald

CEO of World Open Water Swimming Association

"Everyday we make choices to help keep our children safe and healthy. We choose to make them wear seat belts in the car, helmets on bikes, and look both ways before they cross the street. So, why wouldn't we provide them with head safety technology inside their swim cap as they enter swim lessons and swim competition? There is no other swimming cap in the world like Hammer Head."

Swim Parent Testimonials

"My daughter has suffered 2 concussions already because of running into other kids while swimming so I am very interested in getting her something to protect her head."

Karen

Swim Mom

"My 8-year old daughter Brooke hit her head when racing the backstroke three years ago. It was such a strong impact that I could hear the gasps of other spectators. She didn’t swim the backstroke for two years and she still is apprehensive. If Brooke had been wearing Hammer Head, I’m confident that the impact of hitting the pool wall wouldn’t have affected her as it did."

Angie Lubenow

Swim Mom

"My 15-year-old daughter suffered a serious concussion at high school swim practice when she collided with another swimmer and it took her 6-7 months of rehab to recover. I think Hammer Head is a fantastic product that gave her the confidence to get back in the pool to do what she loves. It is wonderful!!!"

Heather

Swim Mom

"Most recently we employed a mandate on our Junior level athletes to wear Hammer Head swim caps during practice and at meets."

Chris DahowskiHead Coach

Senior II, ASCA 4, Paseo Aquatics & Swim Parent

"I have seen a number of concussion accidents happen during regular synchronized swimming practices and competitions, even during a Pan American event. Her team practices 14 hrs per week and we don't want to take any chances. The Hammer Head has been used extensively and is still in good shape, looks good and very comfortable. My daughters’ teammates on the National Team purchased one after they tried her cap. As an elite athlete, you need to do what what you can to stay protected."

Minsheng He

Artistic Swimmin Mom

"I raised two competitive swimmers and have personally seen countless head strikes in busy lanes, collisions with the wall and other swimmers, flip turns gone-wrong and backstroke finishes. Hammer Head is an easy WIN for the sport!"

Bill Stephan

"Hammer Head really helped both of my daughters overcome their fear of hitting their head doing the backstroke and to accurately learn their count from the flags to the finish."

Jennifer Kallus

Swim Mom

"I Love this new technology for my 8-year-old backstroker!!! Thank you!"

Dayna

"My daughter was the first from our club to try Hammer Head and many others followed suit. I myself have 4 swimmers and all 4 wear Hammer Head."

Jennya

"Summer League Swimming is all about community, water safety and fun.  Too often water safety is focused on learning to swim, but not providing protection for ongoing safety. Hammer Head has patented an incredible product that increases safety during practice, meet warm-ups and during races."

Franke Marsden

ASA League Coordinator & Swim Dad

"Throughout my time swimming and coaching, I’ve seen far too many incidents of swimmers getting hurt and I have personally known girls who have got concussions from being kicked in the head because it is such a contact sport. The Hammer Head Swim Cap would be awesome for girls to wear during practices as an added measure of safety."

WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KNOW?

HOW TO WEAR

The Hammer Head® logo always goes in the front and the cap size is labeled on the inside back of the cap.
For aquatic athletes with long hair, be sure to make a low ponytail in the back and tuck your hair up inside the back of your Hammer Head swim cap.

DOUBLE CAPPING

Hammer Head is just fine working behind the scenes to give you the best experience possible. Give the prime logo real estate to your team and sponsor! Simply wear your Hammer Head under your team cap in practice or competition for improved performance and confidence to train aggressively. When you put your team cap over your Hammer Head cap, it will conform for a completely smooth and wrinkle-free racing surface.

SIZE CHART

The Hammer Head will fit ideally on many different size and shaped heads and various hair lengths. Please refer to the chart to estimate the best size for you. Simply measure the circumference of the head approximately 1" above the ears. You can wear your team cap over the Hammer Head for a more compressed fit. There is a front and a back to the your Hammer Head, so make sure our logo is always in front for the most comfortable fit. Sizes are marked on the inside back rim of the cap; small = S, medium = M and large = B (long story).
