FAQs
What material is the Regatta Sakari Swim Costume made from?
It is made from 85% recycled polyester and 15% elastane fabric, weighing 200gsm.
Does this swim costume offer sun protection?
Yes, it provides UV Protection with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of 50+, offering excellent sun safety.
Are the cups wired for support?
No, the Regatta Sakari Swim Costume features non-wired padded cups for comfortable and flexible support.
How do I best care for my swim costume?
For best results, hand wash in cold water with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly after each use, and dry flat in the shade. Avoid wringing, harsh chemicals, and tumble drying.
What is 'tummy control panelling'?
Tummy control panelling is a design feature, often with illusion panelling, that helps to smooth and flatter the midsection for a more streamlined silhouette.
Can I use this costume in chlorinated pools?
Yes, it is suitable for chlorinated pools. However, it's crucial to rinse the costume thoroughly with clean, cold water immediately after swimming to prolong its lifespan and maintain fabric integrity.
What does 200gsm mean for the fabric?
200gsm stands for 200 grams per square meter. This indicates the fabric's weight and density, suggesting a good balance of durability, coverage, and flexibility for swimwear.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel uncomfortable or keep slipping.
Ensure the fully adjustable straps are correctly tightened to provide adequate support without digging in. If they continue to slip, they may be too loose; if they dig, they might be too tight or improperly positioned.
The costume feels too tight or too loose.
Refer to the Regatta size guide to ensure you have the correct size. Swimwear fit is crucial for comfort and performance. If it feels too tight, it can restrict movement; if too loose, it won't offer proper support.
Fabric appears to be losing elasticity or color.
Review the care instructions to ensure proper washing and drying techniques are being followed. Exposure to harsh chemicals (like high chlorine levels) or excessive heat (tumble drying, direct sun) can degrade the fabric over time. Always rinse thoroughly after use.
Tummy control panel isn't as effective as expected.
Ensure the costume is pulled up and smoothed correctly. The 'illusion panelling' works best when the fabric is properly positioned. If still unsatisfactory, verifying the size might be necessary, as an incorrect size can affect the panel's effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting the most comfortable and supportive fit from your Regatta Sakari Swim Costume is simple:
- Adjust the Straps: Before wearing, adjust the fully adjustable shoulder straps to your desired length. Ensure they feel secure without digging into your shoulders. A proper strap adjustment helps with bust support and overall comfort.
- Smooth the Fabric: Once on, gently smooth the fabric around your body, particularly the tummy control panel, to ensure it sits comfortably and flat.

This swim costume is designed for adult females. Its supportive features and range of sizes make it suitable for various body shapes looking for comfort, style, and sun protection in their swimwear.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your swim costume:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, especially after contact with chlorine or saltwater, rinse your costume thoroughly with cool, clean water.
- Hand Wash Recommended: For best results, hand wash with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Cold Water: Always use cold water for washing to protect the fabric's elasticity and color.
- Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Wringing can damage the fabric fibers.
- Dry Flat in Shade: Lay the costume flat on a clean, dry surface or hang it in the shade to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight and tumble drying, as high heat can degrade the elastane and UV protection properties.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of sitting or rubbing against rough surfaces (like concrete or abrasive pool edges) which can snag or damage the fabric.
