FAQs
Is the Regatta Sakari Swim Costume suitable for machine washing?
While hand washing in cool water with mild detergent is strongly recommended to preserve the fabric and shape, if machine washing is necessary, use a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag with cold water and no harsh detergents. Always air dry flat.
What does 'tummy control' mean in this swim costume?
The tummy control feature uses specific panelling and fabric construction, often with slightly firmer compression in the abdominal area, to create a smoother, more streamlined, and flattering silhouette.
Does this swim costume offer sun protection?
Yes, the Regatta Sakari Swim Costume provides excellent UV Protection with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of 50+, blocking over 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays on covered areas.
What are the benefits of using recycled fabric?
Using recycled polyester helps reduce plastic waste by repurposing materials like plastic bottles into new fabric. This decreases the demand for new petroleum-based raw materials and lowers the product's environmental footprint.
Are the cups removable?
The product description mentions 'Non-wired padded cups.' While some padded cups are removable, this detail is not explicitly stated. It's generally best to assume they are integrated unless otherwise specified to avoid damage during washing.
Can I wear this swim costume for competitive swimming?
The Regatta Sakari Swim Costume is designed for comfort, support, and a flattering fit for recreational swimming, beach, and poolside activities. While durable, it may not offer the same hydrodynamic properties or extreme chlorine resistance as specialized competitive swimwear.
Troubleshooting
Swim costume feels uncomfortable or doesn't fit right.
Adjust the `fully adjustable straps` to find a more comfortable and secure fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your measurements; a size guide may be helpful for future purchases.
Fabric appears to be stretching or losing shape.
This can happen with prolonged exposure to chlorine or improper care. Always rinse thoroughly after use and follow the hand washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents and machine washing if possible.
Colors are fading.
Sun exposure, chlorine, and harsh detergents can cause fading. Always rinse the costume after use, dry it in the shade, and use mild detergents for washing. The UPF 50+ protection refers to skin protection, not necessarily color fastness.
Padded cups become misshapen.
Gently reshape the pads while the costume is wet and lay flat to dry. Avoid folding or crushing the cups during storage. Hand washing helps maintain their shape better than machine washing.

Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the longevity and appearance of your Regatta Sakari Swim Costume:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, especially in chlorinated water or saltwater, rinse the costume thoroughly with cool, clean water. This helps remove chemicals and salt that can degrade the fabric.
- Hand Wash Recommended: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric and elastic.
- Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Wringing can stretch and damage the fabric.
- Dry Flat in Shade: Lay the costume flat on a clean towel or hang to dry in a shaded area. Direct sunlight and high heat (like tumble dryers) can cause fading, breakdown of elastic, and damage to the fabric.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful when sitting on rough pool decks or surfaces, as this can snag or pill the fabric.
- Store Properly: Ensure the costume is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and unpleasant odours.
