Full details
The Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE ™ Basic Swimsuit is designed for adult women seeking a durable and comfortable option for swimming, whether at the pool or beach. Its key benefit is the enhanced longevity and shape retention provided by LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, which resists chlorine up to 10 times longer than standard elastane. A minor consideration is that it's a basic style, offering functionality over elaborate design.

FAQs
What makes LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber different from regular Lycra?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is engineered to resist damage from chlorine, heat, and UV exposure up to 10 times longer than standard elastane. This means it retains its shape, color, and elasticity for a significantly longer period.
How often should I wash my swimsuit?
It is best to rinse your swimsuit with fresh water after every use. Machine washing is recommended periodically, following the 40-degree Celsius guideline.
Can I use fabric softener with this swimsuit?
No, fabric softeners should not be used as they can degrade the elasticity and performance of the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber.
What is the best way to dry the swimsuit?
Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water and hang the swimsuit to air dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
Yes, the durable fabric, shape retention, and freedom of movement make it a suitable choice for regular training and competitive swimming.
What materials is the swimsuit made from?
The swimsuit is made from 82% Nylon and 18% Lycra.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The swimsuit should fit snugly without being uncomfortably tight. It should offer support and allow for movement. Refer to standard sizing charts if unsure, and consider that the fabric is designed to maintain its shape.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit loses elasticity quickly
Ensure the swimsuit is thoroughly rinsed with fresh water after every use to remove chlorine and salt, which degrade elastic fibers. Always follow the recommended washing and drying instructions.
Color fading
Rinse immediately after use and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius with mild detergent and avoid bleach.
Swimsuit feels too tight or too loose after a few wears
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, check care instructions, as improper washing or drying can affect fabric shape. The LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is designed for shape retention, so significant stretching may indicate improper care.
