Swimming Hat

Does anyone else have trouble keeping a swimming hat on their head for the duration of a triathlon swim? I find that they ride up over time and eventually ping off the top of my head. I can get round a sprint distance with it still on there but can't get close to making it stick over Olympic distance. I find that it is a massive distraction once it starts to creep upwards.
Any tips anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Nobody needs to swim around looking like Noddy do they...

Trying a different hat helps and making sure that the edge is on skin rather than has bits of hair caught in it and also using no products or rinsing them out before you put the hat on.
Good luck!
Not sure if that helps but I hate swim hats!
I swam with 2 hats on Saturday with my goggles between them and managed to keep them both on for the full hour (with a bit of adjusting as I went) so fingers crossed. Failing that I'll just have to put a request into the race director to provide me a Bondi Lifeguard/Water Polo style hat instead!
