Swiming At School

[noname27]

For PE class in school

(im in grade 9)

I wear a Patka to school everyday and were doing a swimming week for something where we have to swim

How can I swim with my patka anything I can wear over it or something I cant take it off because Its hard for me by myself to put it back on.

Advice?

Im the only sikh in my grade only 3 sikh in my school total

would a rubber cap work?

dont wear a rubber cap g see if u can have ur mom teach u how to do it and practice bring an extra patka (if u like keep one patka just for swimming) if nothing else learn how to tie a regular simple style bandana like patka as a last resort but the best option would be try to learn a regular patka or even better a dumala

water proof rubber cap over your patka

I used to go swimming with a naked head. The problem was that my hair would then stay wet all day. Remember, this is water that has chlorine in it!

Patka may come off after being soaked, depending on how it is tied. A swimming cap would protect your hair, stop it getting wet and damaged by the water. If you can get it in black, it'll probably look like your patka too!

I used to wear a black swimming cap for women so my joora would fit..

so swimming cap over patka?

our swimming lesson in school is only for a week so thats good, i wonder if i could skip it

dude for the future just swim with open hair but obviously be sure to shampoo at the end. Also If you squeeze and twirl your hair and almost throw the water out by running your fingers down the twisted nugget of hair they seem to dry much faster. When your done swimming you can wear a rehmhal (square cloth) until you get home.
