About Speedo
In 1914, Speedo was founded in Australia by Alexander MacRae, a 22-year-old Scottish immigrant who arrived in the country in 1910. The company began when MacRae Hosiery manufacturers, established by Alexander in 1914, extended the manufacture of underwear to swimwear and became MacRae Knitting Mills. A naming competition was held by the staff in 1928 and won by a Captain Parsonson, who coined the slogan, "Speed on in your Speedos." In 1929, the first swimsuits were in production and it didn?t take long for Speedo to successfully establish itself. World War II caused the brand turn over 90% of it?s manufacturing to war production, providing the armed services with vital equipment such as mosquito nets. After the war, Speedo opened a new factory and was able to re-establish itself, due to increased demand for swimsuits. In 1951, Speedo Knitting Mills (Holdings) Ltd, was incorporated and became a publicly traded company on the Sydney Stock exchange.

Speedo hit the international stage in earnest, at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games, and a few years later the brand grew on a more global scale. Export sales to the USA began and an international division was set up to monitor trade in New Zealand, Japan and South Africa. The expansion of the brand continued, and in 1976, Speedo was appointed as the official swimwear for the 1976 Montreal Olympics, where 52 out of 54 countries wore their swimsuits.

Speedo continues to make its mark in the pool and on the beach today. Many world class athletes who wear Speedo include U.S. phenomenon Michael Phelps, legendary Australian swimmer Grant Hackett, world record holder Kosuke Kitajima from Japan, and Holland?s Inge de Bruijn.

Sports reviews of Speedo Silicone Swim Cap

Customer Review: Comfy cap
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

I have long hair (down to the middle of my back) so I was originally concerned with fit even though I know the caps stretch. This cap fit over my bun and was snug against my head. I could even pull it down over my ears without yanking and wiggling the cap down. My hair gets wet each time I wear it, but I think that is par for the swimming cap course.

Customer Review: Good cap
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars

I just ordered this cap, though looking is good and quality is also good but initially while using it i didnt feel comfortable because sometime its pulled upward automatically and i my hairs get wet in the water..may be in future it expand more to fit properly. Hope for that :))

But now I am finding this cap really good. Though initially I was facing some problem to put it on my head but eventually its good for my head. But unable to cover my forehead and back nech area hair, but still a good purchase.

Customer Review: The quality and the fit
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars

I've used my first Speedo silicon cap for 2+ years, for at least 4 times a week in a pool. It has held up beautifully.
However, I am always struggling to pull it down over my ears. It quickly rides up. It fits well down on my forehead, but doesn't stay down on the ears. Could the design be improved? Thanks

Customer Review: small Child sized/ or extra small head and or no hair
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars

I guess if you have a tiny head and no hair this might fit. Otherwise this is too small. But, If you have no hair, then why would you need this? It hurts getting it on and off, and is simply too small.
