I think the cap feels great but having to fit over your ears is annoying. My daughter does swimming lessons and overall when kids swim the cap shouldn’t suppress the sound. I’d be happy to purchase a cap that doesn’t cover ears.
I understand to not allow water in, but there must be a way to make the cap not cover your ears but not allow water in. What I had to do is take my daughter’s ears out and pull the cap up at the sides which made it go out of shape a bit but it worked a little.
