Hair problems?

I'm a african american and i have several hair problem. I can never get my hair straightened because I'm either swimming (i'm a lifeguard), working out in a hay field, working horses, and marching band. Usually I pull my hair back but I know that isn't good, are there any styles that I could do with it?

Update:

its about chin length, and its very curly at the roots. Its shorter in the back

    Hmm... you could get microbraids because you can get them wet how ever much you want and you dont have to straighten them....it can last up to 2-3 months

    Hmm. depends on how your hair is. What's your texture? Anyway do you relax or go natural? A good product to use is one called Curls. Go to curls.biz and they have a lot of natural products that will tame you hair so that you can wear it out more. Just remember to keep it moisturized when you get out of the pool and get all of that chlorine out.

    use a curling styling gel and go for a curly over a staright look and change it up, just scrunch it into ur hair and style it however u like, and curls dont have to be right in place like straight hair does
