Silicone Caps

A silicone cap has the following characteristics:

 It is made of flexible silicone.  It is a little bit thicker than a latex swim cap.  It has a neutral smell.  It is more shiny than a latex swim cap.  It can sport one or several colours per swim cap.

A swim cap made of silicone has the following advantages:

 It doesn't generate allergic reactions like latex does.  It protects your hair well from chlorine.  It lasts longer than a latex swim cap because it is thicker and therefore tears less easily.  Because it is thicker than a latex swim cap it keeps the head warmer in cold water.  It often looks better than its latex or neoprene counterparts because it can sport several different colour combinations and because its finish is more shiny. Swim caps with a more exotic shape (for example the funny ones with a shark fin or the more serious ones with a chin strap) are often made of silicone because the material is better suited to create more complex shapes.

You can view silicone caps on the Ying Fa Sydney website.

Australian Olympic Medalists in Swimming

Australia has competed in swimming at the Summer Olympics since the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris. was 's sole swimming representative at the 1900 games, winning two individual gold medals.

Swimming is Australia's most prolific Olympic sport, having been responsible for 58 of Australia's 143 Olympic gold medals.

Australia's strongest ever performance in swimming was at the 1956 Olympics on home soil in Melbourne. Australia claimed eight of the thirteen gold medals available, including both relays and a clean sweep of the medals in the 100 m freestyle.

Australia has been most successful in the freestyle discipline, with 37 of the 58 golds coming in the stroke. Eight of the gold have come from the men's 1500 m freestyle, the most victories in the event by any country, which has resulted in the event being dubbed "Australia's race" by Australian commentators.

Australia's first medal outside of freestyle did not come until 1932 when Clare Dennis and Bonnie Mealing won gold and silver in the 200 m and 100 m respectively.

Backstroke is Australia's weakest discipline, with David Theile's two consecutive golds in the 100 m backstroke being the only victories in the discipline
