While you don't really need a style that looks good enough to walk the runway, you do need one that fits under your swim cap (if you're wearing one) and won't be a fussy, tangled mess post-workout.

What the experts say: "For swimming, wear your hair pulled back into tight bun under swim cap," says certified trainer Kyra Williams, also known as the Get in Shape Girl. Bonus points for moisturizing with a deep conditioner before your swim. "This helps pull more of the nutrients
into the hair," says Williams.

The look: Double twist low bun

Try it:
1. Part your hair down the center from your forehead to the nape of your neck.
2. Begin twisting one side back toward your nape. Be sure to keep your twist tight as you go. Secure momentarily as you begin the other side.
3. Repeat on the opposite side. Then take the two sides and twist them together.
5. Secure with bobby pins or a separate elastic as necessary.

Getting stronger requires patience, perseverance, diligence and no fussing around with your ponytail from shoulder press to seated rows. Make your workout count and keep your hairstyle intact with a style that threatens sweaty pieces of hair from setting foot on your face.

What the experts say: "As a general rule when strength training, it is always recommended to
pull the hair away from the face for safety," says Rachel Martin, certified personal trainer and female body
strength training specialist from New Jersey.
"Buns, braids and ponytails
will ensure maintenance of body temperature and minimize overheating."

The look: Triple Braided bun

Try it:
1. Divide your hair horizontally into three sections, securing each section into a ponytail as you go. You should have one section at the top, middle and nape of your neck.
2. Next, braid each section down through to the ends. Secure with a clear elastic as necessary.
3. Wrap each braided piece around the base of the elastic. Use a bobby pin or separate elastic to secure.
4. Finish with hairspray as desired.
