Full details
The Slazenger LYCRA XTRA LIFE Boyleg Swimsuit is designed for active adult women seeking a durable and supportive swimwear option. Its key benefit is the use of LYCRA XTRA LIFE fabric, offering superior chlorine resistance and longevity.

FAQs
What is LYCRA XTRA LIFE fabric?
LYCRA XTRA LIFE is a special type of elastane fiber that is engineered to be highly resistant to chlorine damage, heat, and suntan lotions. It helps swimwear retain its shape and color up to 10 times longer than standard elastane.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
The athletic boyleg cut and racerback design offer good support and minimize drag, making it suitable for lap swimming and training. For elite competition, specific FINA-approved suits might be preferred, but this is an excellent option for regular training.
How often should I wash my swimsuit?
It is recommended to rinse your swimsuit with fresh water after every use. Machine washing is advised after a few wears or if the suit has been heavily exposed to chlorine or saltwater, following the 40°C gentle cycle instructions.
Can I use this swimsuit in a hot tub?
While the LYCRA XTRA LIFE fabric offers enhanced resistance, prolonged exposure to the high temperatures and concentrated chemicals in hot tubs can still degrade the material faster than in a standard swimming pool. Rinsing immediately after use is crucial.
What does 'boyleg' mean in terms of fit?
The 'boyleg' cut refers to a style of swimsuit bottom that extends down the leg to the upper thigh, similar to men's or boys' swim trunks but integrated into a women's swimsuit. It provides more coverage than a standard bikini or brief style.
Does the recycled polyester affect the swimsuit's performance?
No, the use of recycled polyester combined with LYCRA XTRA LIFE ensures that the swimsuit maintains high performance standards in terms of durability, stretch, and comfort, while also offering a more sustainable option.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit loses elasticity or becomes baggy quickly.
Ensure the swimsuit is always rinsed thoroughly in cold, fresh water after each use. Avoid harsh detergents, fabric softeners, and high heat drying, which can degrade LYCRA fibers.
Color fading after a few uses.
While LYCRA XTRA LIFE offers improved color retention, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive chlorine can still cause fading. Always dry the suit in the shade and rinse thoroughly after swimming.
Swimsuit feels uncomfortable or restrictive.
Verify that the correct size has been selected. Ensure the swimsuit is rinsed and properly dried according to care instructions, as improper care can affect fabric properties.

Compatibility: This swimsuit is designed for adult women and is compatible with typical swimwear usage in chlorinated pools and saltwater environments.
Care Instructions: To ensure the longevity and performance of your Slazenger LYCRA XTRA LIFE Boyleg Swimsuit:
- Rinse After Use: Always rinse the swimsuit in cold, fresh water immediately after wearing. This helps to remove chlorine, salt, and other residues that can degrade the fabric.
- Machine Wash: Wash the swimsuit on a gentle cycle at 40°C (104°F) using a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the LYCRA fibers.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat can harm the fabric's elasticity. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water and lay the swimsuit flat to dry in the shade.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: prolonged exposure to direct sunlight while drying can cause colors to fade and fabric to weaken.
- Do Not Iron: Never iron the swimsuit, as this can cause permanent damage to the material.
