FAQs
What does 'Creora Highclo™ Spandex' mean for the suit?
Creora Highclo™ Spandex provides superior durability and resistance to chlorine, meaning the swimsuit will retain its shape and elasticity for longer, even with regular use in chlorinated pools.
How effective is the UPF 50+ protection?
UPF 50+ protection blocks up to 98% of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays, offering significant protection against sun damage for the areas of skin covered by the swimsuit.
Can I machine wash this swimsuit?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the swimsuit with mild soap and cold water. Machine washing, bleaching, or tumble drying can damage the fabric and reduce its lifespan.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
While designed for performance with a racing leg height, it's best suited for fitness and recreational swimming. Competitive athletes may require suits with specific FINA approvals or advanced compression features.
How do I determine if UK size 16 is the correct fit?
Refer to Speedo's official sizing chart for women's swimwear, paying close attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements. Trying the suit on in person, if possible, is the best way to ensure a proper fit.
What is the benefit of the racing leg height?
The racing leg height is cut higher on the leg to allow for a greater range of motion and reduce drag in the water, contributing to improved swimming performance.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit fading or losing elasticity prematurely.
Ensure the swimsuit is rinsed immediately after each use in cold water to remove chlorine or salt. Follow the recommended hand wash and drying instructions carefully.
Removable cups shifting or not staying in place.
Ensure the cups are inserted flat into their designated pockets. For a more secure fit, consider if the bra design adequately supports your needs, or explore swimwear with built-in support if this becomes a recurring issue.
Skin irritation from fabric or stitching.
Rinse the suit thoroughly before first wear. If irritation persists, ensure the correct size is being worn and check for any potential fabric sensitivities. Consult a doctor if irritation is severe.
