In my experience it's no harder than socks (or a condom). Pull long hair into a bun like loop. Fold up the bottom half of the cap. Place on small child's head and roll down. Tuck in any stray hairs.
Casey, if you ever need to help her with the swim cap, I'd be disappointed if you didn't use the trick where you fill the cap with water first and pop it on.
Depending on if you are trying to keep her hair dry or just out of her face they also make them out of swimsuit material too and I've found those are easier.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/
How's the swim cap? I'm thinking about getting one for my kid but my wife says they're a real hassle to get on/off.
ReplyDeleteI've never had to help her with one, so no idea! She didn't have one until she started competing.

ReplyDeleteAlso, they're fragile. As we found out when one broke at a meet and we didn't have a spare.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is awesome. I'm gonna experiment, thanks.
ReplyDeleteAren't they made of rubber? I would've thought it would be more resilient than that.
ReplyDeleteI assumed some kind of latex.
