FAQs

What is `LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™`?

`LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™` is a specialized fiber engineered for swimwear that resists degradation from chlorine, sunscreen, and heat. This allows the swimsuit to maintain its shape and fit up to 10 times longer than standard elastane, offering extended durability.

Is this swimsuit suitable for daily use in a chlorinated pool?

Yes, absolutely. The primary benefit of `LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™` is its exceptional resistance to chlorine, making this suit ideal for young swimmers who are regularly in chlorinated pools, whether for lessons or recreation.

Can this swimsuit be worn in the sea or saltwater pools?

Yes, the swimsuit is suitable for saltwater. However, similar to chlorine, always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use in saltwater to remove salt and other residues, then follow standard washing instructions.

How do I ensure I get the correct size for my child?

The suit is offered in children's UK sizing (e.g., 9-10). For the best fit, it is recommended to consult a brand-specific size chart if available and measure your child to compare their dimensions with the chart. A proper fit ensures comfort and optimal performance.

Does the swimsuit offer UV protection?

Info needed: The product description does not specify a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating. While the fabric inherently provides some barrier against the sun's rays, for prolonged sun exposure, it's advisable to use additional sun protection like sunscreen or rash guards.

Is the material recycled?

Yes, the swimsuit is made with 82% Recycled Polyester, demonstrating a commitment to more sustainable material sourcing.

Troubleshooting

Suit feels too tight or uncomfortable during wear

Ensure the correct size was chosen. While the suit is stretch-fit, an incorrect size can lead to discomfort. Refer to any available size charts, and consider sizing up if the child is between sizes or has a growth spurt.

Suit appears to be losing its shape or elasticity quickly

Review your care routine. Ensure the suit is always rinsed immediately after use and washed at 40 degrees Celsius. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and especially tumble drying, as high heat is detrimental to `LYCRA®` fibers. Consistent exposure to very high chlorine levels without proper rinsing can also contribute to degradation.

Color seems to be fading

Although the suit offers enhanced chlorine resistance, prolonged exposure to strong chemicals or drying in direct, intense sunlight can cause some color fading over time. Always rinse thoroughly and air dry in the shade to help preserve color vibrancy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

This swimming suit requires no complex setup. Simply ensure you have selected the correct size for the wearer using standard children's UK sizing. A properly fitted swimsuit will offer the best comfort and performance.

Compatibility

The Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Boyleg Swimming Suit is specifically designed for high compatibility with chlorinated swimming pool environments, thanks to its advanced `LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™` fiber. It can also be used in freshwater and saltwater, but always follow post-use care to maintain its quality.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to maximize the lifespan and maintain the performance of your swimsuit. Follow these steps:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, thoroughly rinse the swimsuit in cool, fresh water. This helps remove chlorine, salt, sand, and sunscreen residues.
  2. Machine Wash: Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius (warm water) using a gentle cycle.
  3. Use Mild Detergent: Wash with a small amount of mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the `LYCRA®` fibers.
  4. Do Not Tumble Dry: Air dry the swimsuit flat and out of direct sunlight. High heat from tumble dryers can damage the elastic fibers and cause the suit to lose its shape and elasticity.
  5. Avoid Ironing: Do not iron the swimsuit.
  6. Store Properly: Once completely dry, store the swimsuit in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
