Swimming Hair Care Help?

Question

I'm about to start swimming on a team for the first time, and i almost always wear my hair straight, but i like swimming a tad bit more. I am black/filipino so my hair is curly and a little past my shoulders. I've never had my hair braided before with fake hair, and i don't wear it curly. So i was wondering how do you care for the braids after swimming and does it cause breakage? and any other hair suggestions instead of braids?

I don't wear braids but can comment on swimming hair care in general.  A swim cap will minimize chlorine and/or salt exposure.  Silicone swim caps fit longer hair really well.  Whatever your style, remember to condition after every swim.  If you'd prefer to keep your hair straight, consider getting it chemically straightened at a salon so it doesn't need as much blow drying.
