I go to this recreational center every July. They have free swimming classes, so I attend those. But, I can never come out with my hair tie on. (Note: I have long af hair) I can't use swim caps because I broke 3 of them. I really want to cut my hair, but my parents say when I'm able to move from the house. hnnnnnnnng why
Have you searched for more extended swim caps? I'm not familiar with swimwear but you could check with the rec center to see if they have a way around it.
