This Slazenger swimsuit is designed for consistent performance in various aquatic environments, particularly swimming pools. The racer-back design ensures that your shoulders and arms have unrestricted movement, making it an excellent choice for lap swimming, water aerobics, or even leisurely dips where comfort and mobility are key. The shape retentive fabric means you won't experience stretching or sagging over time, providing a reliable and supportive fit during every swim.
The inclusion of LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is a standout feature for regular swimmers. If you frequent chlorinated pools, this material significantly slows down the degradation process that often affects swimwear, ensuring the swimsuit maintains its elasticity, color, and integrity much longer. This translates to fewer replacements and consistent performance.
For example, whether you're performing flip turns, diving, or simply treading water, the secure fit provided by the design and fabric will keep the swimsuit in place, allowing you to focus on your activity. The boyleg cut offers a comfortable balance of coverage and mobility, appealing to those who prefer a more modest leg line without compromising on aquatic performance. It's suitable for both recreational swimming and more structured training sessions.
There is no complex setup required for this swimsuit. Simply ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable and secure fit. Refer to a standard UK women's dress size chart if unsure about sizing. When first trying it on, ensure the fabric lies smoothly without excessive pulling or bagging to confirm an optimal fit.
This swimsuit is designed for adult females and is suitable for various water activities, including swimming in pools, leisure centers, and open water (though specific UV protection is not stated, see FAQs). Its chlorine-resistant properties make it highly compatible with regular pool usage.
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Boyleg Swimsuit, follow these care guidelines:
Rinse Immediately: After each use, thoroughly rinse your swimsuit in cool, clean tap water. This helps remove chlorine, salt, sun cream, and body oils that can degrade the fabric.
Machine Wash: Machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
Avoid Bleach and Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the LYCRA® fibers and fabric.
Do Not Tumble Dry: High heat from tumble dryers can damage the elasticity and shape retention of the fabric. Lay the swimsuit flat or hang it in the shade to air dry.
Avoid Direct Sunlight While Drying: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight while drying can cause color fading and fabric degradation.
Do Not Iron: Ironing can damage the synthetic fibers. If wrinkles occur, gentle steaming is preferred, but generally not necessary for swimwear.
Store Properly: Ensure the swimsuit is completely dry before storing it to prevent mildew and odors.
