FAQs
What does LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ mean for durability?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fabric is engineered to resist damage from chlorine, heat, and sunscreen, lasting up to twice as long as ordinary elastane swimwear. This means your swimsuit will maintain its shape and color for longer.
How should I determine my size?
The sizing for this swimsuit is based on UK women's dress sizes. Please refer to a standard UK size chart to find the best fit for you.
Can this swimsuit be used for competitive swimming?
Yes, the racer back design and durable, chlorine-resistant fabric make it suitable for regular training and competitive swimming.
Is this swimsuit suitable for sensitive skin?
The fabric is a blend of Nylon and Lycra. While generally comfortable, individuals with very specific sensitivities should check the material composition. Proper rinsing after use is recommended.
How do I wash the swimsuit?
The swimsuit is machine washable at 40°C. It is best to rinse it in cold water after each wear and follow the care label instructions.
Will the color fade after multiple uses?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ is designed for color retention. However, like all swimwear, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals can eventually cause fading. Proper care will help maintain the color.
What is the material composition?
The swimsuit is composed of 82% Nylon and 18% Lycra.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK dress size. If between sizes, consider the next size up for a more relaxed fit. Allow time for the fabric to adapt to your body shape.
Elasticity seems to be reducing over time.
Rinse the swimsuit in cold, fresh water immediately after each use to remove chlorine. Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
Discoloration or fading of the fabric.
While LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ offers good colorfastness, harsh chemicals or prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can cause fading. Rinse thoroughly after use and dry away from direct sun.
