A Swim Cap Made For Black Hair Will Get A Second Look From Swimming's Governing Body

Alice Dearing, who is slated to become the first ever Black woman to represent Great Britain in swimming at the Olympics this year, is an ambassador for Soul Cap, a swim cap made for natural Black hair.

The International Swimming Federation said it would reconsider its decision barring the cap from being used in competition, following criticism that the ruling discriminated against Black swimmers.
