Wig for sports, surfing and swimming

Hey there, this is only my first proper post, so sorry, but its gonna be long :) I started wearing wigs about 2.5 years ago. Starting off first with a synthetic Jon Reneau & quickly moving on to full lace human hair wigs. I have androgenic alopecia or diifuse alopecia areata (they couldn't decide!) Had been loosing my hair since I was 16, so after years of lamenting, I bit the bullet, shaved the head and got into wigs :) Having lost a lot of my confidence over those years, I'm only now starting to sort of gain it back. I've always wanted to learn how to swim & surf, so have been trying but am struggling to find the right set-up of wig (or wigs) to get me through easily. Since I bond my full wig with tape,I don't really have issues with how secure it is, my question moreso is: Is it possible to continue an active lifestyle, including waterpsorts, whilst maintaining a decent looking wig (ones thats attached to your head I mean :))? I can't afford a Follea etc type wig, plus I think most people would scream if I suggested swimming or surfing in them! I buy cheaper FL wigs from China online, thats all I can afford,theres not a lot available n my area plus I like the lengths & realistic part lines of them. However, I could see them easily being ruined by all this water activity + extra washing; my current wig is already drying out and matting a bit.Also, I don't think freedom type wigs would suit due to price and the presence of head stubble :) Does anyone else do this kind of stuff? And how do they maintain the wig or wigs? It's possible I asking for too much, but I'm still not ready to go au naturel :( any suggestions welcome xx

Late to the party but commenting to help anyone trying to find an answer to the same question. 

I suffer from androgenic alopecia. I was a high school basketball player when it started and had a hard time making peace with it. Last year, I started using human hair wigs to hide my hair loss. I buy them sometimes from Wigsbuy but often from Lordhair. Yes, it is completely possible to continue an active lifestyle while wearing a wig.

Apart from playing basketball, I also love swimming. I mostly jump in the pool while having a wig on my head. Water does affect hair wigs but it won’t if you maintain them properly. I always wash my wig after splashing around the pool to get rid of the chlorine. I also spray it with a leave-in conditioner afterward.

I also go to the beach wearing a wig. Works like a charm. I’m wearing this hair wig nowadays:

I really hope my answer will help out someone!
