I'm not sure how well neoprene holds up to chlorine over time. Before the neoprene caps come out a lot of people will double up a latex and a silicone cap to trap more heat, that might be a better option for you.<br /><br />You may also want to try finding a good tight fitting long sleeved <a href="http://www.swimoutlet.com/SearchResults.asp?Click=984388&Cat=908" rel="nofollow">rash guard</a>. It probably won't actually make her any warmer but she might think it's warmer! Personally I really only wear caps in open water, I've never seen anyone in a neoprene cap in a pool before.

Rob,
do you wear the neoprene cap in the pool when it's cold also (or just open water)?
