Benefits of technology

The protective swim cap is designed to protect swimmers from head injuries caused by collisions with pool walls or other swimmers. It is made from elastic material and has a safety feature that reduces the risk of injury. The cap is long enough to cover a swimmer's ears, providing added protection. With this safety feature, swimmers can focus on swimming faster and with less worry about head trauma.

Problems solved by technology

Whether or not these injuries result in long-term negative physical effects or are shaken off, swimmers are repeatedly at risk of head injuries or concussions when they have impacts with the wall or other swimmers.

Abstract

A wearable safety feature used to protect users from injuries caused by impact or collision. More specifically, a wearable safety feature having alternating solid free space and open cells that can be used on its own or in combination with additional protective equipment. A layer of open, pillar-shaped cells can be alternated with solid material and can have apertures exposed to an inner or outer surface of the safety feature or piece of protective equipment. A hard, outer shell can be placed over the safety feature so that the safety feature is located between the hard, outer shell and the wearer.
