What do you do with your swim caps?

I use them for training.
But on BT that probably makes me a tool looking for attention since they have race distances on them...

Ditto.......guess we can be tools together....why buy them when you get a new one at every race !!!

I keep them however I'm not sure why as I rarely swim in them outside of racing.

Having said that, I have a slight hi-jack question.  At races I see so many different attempts at wearing the caps, from those pulled down low and below the goggles to the other extreme of it barely fitting over the tip of the head....In the latter example I think the swimmer is just technically meeting the requirement they wear the cap vs. the others looking like they are expecting to keep their ears air tight...

Some caps look smooth and have no wrinkles, others look like mine feels, that it's not on right and is tight (wrinkle free) in some areas, bunchy in others...

Having said all that, what is the best way to put on a swim cap (I shave my head but it's a big melon) so I don't feel like I'm ripping skin YET get the benefits of wearing it in the water...

My kids carry a couple to every race along with a sharpie.  They have frames with caps signed by Chrissy, Hunter Kemper, the Brownlee's, Sarah Hastings, Crowie, Macca,  blah,blah,blah.  I guess it only works if you're a kid, but they look pretty cool framed and on their walls.

x2, what else would you do with them honestly?  Unless your framing them like LB's kids....but those are signed caps.  I'd say most of us have a drawer full of NOT signed caps.  I figure, who cares what it says on it.  I could be wearing an IM branded cap but that doesn't mean I've done one.  None of mine say "finisher".

One thing to note is that I always keep TWO caps on hand for training.  Last year I was popping a cap on in the locker room and it tore clean in half.  It wasn't even an old cap.  For a second I thought I'd have to change back into my clothes to go back out to the gym's cafe/shop and PURCHASE a cap for probably $5 when I have a drawer full at home.  Luckily the lifeguard had an extra one in his office.  From that point on I always packed two!

This has happened to me too - and was REALLY happy that I had a spare to be able to use.  I've also given them away to others at the pool if someone looks like they want/need one. 

Any swim cap from a race where it was required to have a sticker on the cap gets tossed, otherwise they all seem to make it through the training rotation at some point.

I always swim with a cap on because I wear silicone earplugs and they seem to stay in place better with a cap on and always a red or orange cap when I'm in open water.  I want to be as visible as possible.

I do accumulate quite a few caps but if they have no logo and are not very bright I toss them.
