What should I do with my hair when I am swimming?

I swim a lot in the summer and I have long hair, about to the middle of my back. No matter what I do with it or how I tie it up, it comes out and pieces get in my face. Even braids, buns, and ponytails don't work. Besides cutting it, does anyone have any other suggestions??

I was about to offer my Goody "Stay Put" suggesstion and then noticed that someone already did. They work perfectly and I have long hair. I recommend conditioning the hell out of your hair with regular conditioner. Don't wash it out. Then pull your hair into a high tight ponytail. Then braid the ponytail and secure the end with another "Stay Put". This keeps your hair taut without inviting it to fly all over the place.
