Some public pools will require you wear a cap so that your hair doesn't clog up the pool filters.
Some people like to wear caps in order to try and not get chlorine on their hair. Some like wearing caps because it's more comfortable to swim with a cap.
In short - unless the pool requires you to wear a cap, it's up to you if you wear it or not.

It is not required in some Pools. It is best to wear a swim cap if you are going to get your hair wet, for the protection of your hair from the chlorine, and for the protection of the filters. If you are in the pool for aerobic exercises, and will not be getting your hair wet, it is acceptable to wear a sun protection hat and sunglasses to protect your eyes from the glare.

it is the pratical thing to do so that your hair does not slow you down and so that you will not have to work as hard. if your hair is just floating around were ever you are swimming you have more weight behind you then that means you have to work twice as hard.i would recommend the lycra swim caps because they go on easily and do not hurt when they are coming off your head, and they are made for long hair

If you don't where swim caps it creates drag and makes you work harder. If you don't where a swim cap. Put your hair up in a ponytail. Ask others on your swim team.

No its not necessary, but the chlorine (in a swimming pool)can really damage your heir, prevention is better than cure, the chlorine takes forever to get out and your hair feels so nasty and who knows what you may get from in the water- I would keep it covered one less thing to worry about.

Body hair will increase drag while the swimmer cuts through the water, slowing him down.
The keep-pool-filter-clean at a pool theory is also true.

Not necessary unless truly swimming for exercise, ie. freestlye, butterfly, etc. It keeps the hair out of your face while breathing, and reduces drag.
