FAQs
What is LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ and why is it important?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ is a premium fiber engineered to provide exceptional resistance to chlorine, sun lotion, and UV rays. This technology helps your swimsuit maintain its shape and last up to 10 times longer than swimwear made with ordinary elastane, making it ideal for frequent pool use.
How should I wash this swimsuit to ensure its longevity?
Machine wash your swimsuit at 40 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle. Crucially, always rinse it thoroughly with cool, fresh water immediately after each use, especially after swimming in chlorinated water. Do not tumble dry; instead, air dry it flat or hang it in the shade.
Is this swimsuit suitable for intensive swim training or competitive use?
Yes, its racer-back design, shape-retentive fabric, and chlorine-resistant LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ make it highly suitable for regular swim training and fitness swimming. For competitive racing, specific FINA-approved suits might be preferred, but this offers excellent performance and durability for daily use.
What is the material composition of this swimsuit?
The Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Boyleg Swimsuit is made from 82% Recycled Nylon and 18% Lycra.
Does the boyleg style offer good coverage compared to other swimsuit cuts?
Yes, the boyleg cut is designed to provide more coverage around the upper thigh area than traditional high-cut or brief-style swimsuits, offering a comfortable, secure, and modest feel.
Will the black color fade quickly in chlorinated pools?
Thanks to the integrated LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, this swimsuit is specifically designed to resist the fading effects of chlorine. With proper care, its black color should remain vibrant significantly longer than swimwear made with standard elastane.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels too tight or too loose during wear.
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Slazenger size chart. Swimwear should feel snug but not restrictive. If the fit is uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a different size.
Fabric appears to be stretching out or losing its shape prematurely.
Verify that you are following all care instructions, especially rinsing after chlorine exposure and avoiding tumble drying. Over-stretching the garment when putting it on or taking it off can also contribute to this; handle with care.
Color appears dull or faded over time.
While LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ resists chlorine, prolonged exposure to very harsh chemicals, excessive UV radiation (strong sunlight), or improper washing can affect color. Always rinse thoroughly after use and consider air drying in the shade.
Fabric snags or pills easily.
Avoid contact with rough surfaces such as concrete pool edges, velcro, or abrasive textures. These can cause pulls or pilling on the fabric. Store separately from items with sharp edges.

Care Instructions
To maximize the lifespan and maintain the quality of your Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Boyleg Swimsuit, follow these care guidelines:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, thoroughly rinse your swimsuit with cool, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, sun cream, or body oils.
- Machine Wash: Machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. Use a gentle cycle and a mild detergent.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the fabric and elastic fibers.
- No Tumble Drying: Air dry your swimsuit. Lay it flat on a clean, dry surface or hang it in the shade away from direct sunlight. High heat from tumble dryers can degrade the Lycra fibers.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of sitting or rubbing against rough pool decks or surfaces, which can snag or pill the fabric.
- Storage: Store your dry swimsuit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
