I have been swimming using a swimming cap regardless of my hair length. The reason being that it holds your hair in place and prevents the swimming pool from getting hair in the water.
Recently, I bought a speedo latex cap which is very tight and though secure, hurts my head. Being slippery, it also tends to slip off while you are swimming. The troublesome part is that you have to wash it with cold water and thoroughly rise it to wash off all chlorine immediately after a swim to prevent it from deteriorating and then dry it with talc powder to ensure dryness.
I still prefer my worn out swimming cap (made of cloth material) rather than latex. At least it shapes according to my head shape than grip it like the latex one.

These swimming caps can be uncomfortable I used them all the time when I was on a swim team but other only used them at competitions.

This is not a personal dig but:
1)swimming caps are meant to be tight-thats how they stay on, and thats why swimmers use them (more streamlined if tight)
2)i think you must be putting it on wrong if it keeps falling off-ive been wearing swimming caps for over 11 years and one has never fallen off mid session
3)and its really not that hard to look after caps-a quick swill under the tap will surfice and the talc is not really that necessary-mine survive for months of training with out seeing a speck of talc.
