You're in a swimming pool - your whole body is cold and wet. Really not sure why you think a cap will make much odds.
Not drying your hair is still not how you catch a cold. A cold is a virus and needs to be caught from someone else who already has the virus.
I have long hair, even in the cold weather I rarely bother drying it if I have been swimming, I just put it up in a clip so it looks tidy while I walk home and then I shower and wash my hair properly when I get home. Even then I don't use a hair dryer and allow my hair to dry naturally, regardless of the weather.
Incidentally if you get ear infections then swimming can make them worse. I have an ear issue and having taken advice from a pharmacist I have bought special mouldable jelly earplugs that I wear . Speak to a pharmacist , they can recommend something suitable for your ear shape and particular ear issue.
